Continuous Inertial Focusing and Separation of Particles by Shape

An effective approach to separating shaped particles is needed to isolate disease-causing cells for diagnostics or to aid in purifying nonspherical particles in applications ranging from food science to drug delivery. However, the separation of shaped particles is generally challenging, since nonsph...
