RESUMO
Microfluidic technology has great advantages in the precise manipulation of micro-nano particles, and the hybrid microfluidic separation technology has attracted much attention due to the advantages of both active and passive separation technology at the same time. In this paper, the hydrophoresis sorting technique is combined with the dielectrophoresis technique, and a dielectrophoresis-assisted hydrophoresis microdevice is studied to separate blood cells. By using the dielectrophoresis force to change the suspension position of the cells in the channel, the scope of the hydrophoresis device for sorting particles is expanded. At the same time, the effects of microchannel width, fluid velocity, and electrode voltage on cell sorting were discussed, and the cell separation process was simulated. This work has laid a certain theoretical foundation for the rapid diagnosis of diseases in practical applications.
