Relationship between cell elution time and cell density for DEP-FFF at 15 kHz. Symbols represent measured elution times for beads of 1062 and 1070 kg.m⁻³, and for monocytes (M), lymphocytes (L), and erythrocytes (E). The solid line shows the calculated responses expected from the theory under the experimental conditions (Table 1). The cell density distribution can be derived by mapping the elution profile using the calculated response. The elution profile for DS19 cells at 15 kHz shown along the time axis is mapped to the corresponding cell density distribution along the density axis.
