The separated cells on the microfluidic device. a Schematic diagram of the microfluidic device. b The fabricated PDMS microfluidic device used for the experiments in this study. The processed blood sample is dumped in the waste area. c Captured CD45+ cells (green) in the separation area. No cell clogging was observed in the device. d Bright field (left) and fluorescence (right) images of the processed sample in the waste area. Example of an uncaptured CD45+ cell in the waste area identified by fluorescence. The cell size is approximately 7 µm. The lightly shaded area in red in b denotes the RBCs that were not captured by the filter and found their way to the waste area instead. Scale bar: 100 µm
