Sheath-less high throughput inertial separation of small microparticles in spiral microchannels with trapezoidal cross-section

This work is the first to focus and recover 2 from 5 μm and 2 from 10 μm particles in spiral channels in a sheath-less flow device, which reduces the overall complexity of the system and allows for higher throughput.
