  • Systems and methods for focusing particles
    Patent number: 9470679
    Abstract: Provided is a method of focusing particles. The method includes: providing a suspension of the particles in a suspending medium; and flowing the suspension along a channel, such that the flowing suspension occupies a certain volume that has at least one cross-sectional dimension smaller than 100 ?m. The suspending medium has such viscoelastic properties, that flowing the suspension in the channel directs at least some of the particles towards a focus region, enclosed in said certain volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2016
    Assignee: Technion Research & Development Foundation, Ltd.
    Inventors: Alexander Leshansky, Avishay Bransky, Korin Natanel

  • Microfluidic system and method for manufacturing the same
    Publication number: 20100018584
    Abstract: A microfluidic system is disclosed. The microfluidic system comprises a microchannel having in fluid communication with a fluid inlet for receiving a first fluid. The microfluidic system can further comprise a piezoelectric actuator which controls the flow of the first fluid in the microchannel by selectively applying external pressure on the wall of the microchannel.
