Progress of Microfluidic Continuous Separation Techniques for Micro-/Nanoscale Bioparticles

Separation of micro- and nano-sized biological particles, such as cells, proteins, and nucleotides, is at the heart of most biochemical sensing/analysis, including in vitro biosensing, diagnostics, drug development, proteomics, and genomics. However, most of the conventional particle separation tech...
