Sorting capsules in microfluidic devices.

The article "Sorting capsules in microfluidic devices" published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics discusses the use of microfluidic systems for sorting and enriching deformable particle suspensions. The study by Lu et al. explores the interactions between suspended capsules and surrounding fluid in a branched microchannel, providing insights for precise control of microfluidic devices. The research has implications for biotechnology applications and offers guidance for experimental setups. The study's findings can be applied to understand flows of deformable cells in complex geometries and have potential applications in microvascular flows and cancer metastasis research.
