TABLE II.
Effects of voltage sweep (in volts) in the direction of flux using dextrose buffer of conductivity 0.052 s/m. (No separation indicates that both healthy and infected RBCs were moving to the same outlet port.) PPE of the inlet sample = 10%, inlet voltage = 10 V and outlet voltage 1 = 0 V. Note: Similar trend was observed for all inlet samples (10%–0.1%).
