Deterministic lateral displacement for selective particle trapping

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Anne Herrmann .

Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a technique widely used in microfluidics for size-based separation. DLD devices typically consists of an array of static micro-posts that deflect the motion of oncoming particles using steric repulsion. In this project, we expand the concept of DLD by showing that a system with a rotational and translational motion near a solid boundary can trap and transport passive particles. Trapping is achieved because free-flowing finite-size particles cannot follow flow streamlines as a result of their collision with a solid boundary, and thus have move laterally to into a flow vortex in which they are trapped. The trapping mechanism is explained analytically in two dimensions and investigated numerically for rolling ellipsoids in three dimensions.
