Biomimetic Precapillary Flow Patterns for Enhancing Blood Plasma Separation: A Preliminary Study

In this study, a biomimetic microfluidic plasma separation device is discussed. The design of the device drew inspiration from in vivo observations of enhanced cell-free layer (CFL) formation downstream of vascular bifurcations. The working principle for the plasma separation was based on the plasma...
