TABLE II.
Geometrical characteristics of the two different microfluidic channels replicating Dyn1 and Dyn2 shear stress curves and the corresponding flow rates. The channel height (h), width (W), and length (L) are reported together with the parameters referring to geometrical characteristics of the channel features generating the shear stress peaks: the width and length of the feature (Wfeat and Lfeat), the length of the straight portion of the channel between consecutive features (Llag), and the total number of features on the same channel (Nfeat). In both cases, a flow rate value Q equal to 15 μl/min was used.
| h (μm) | W (μm) | Wfeat (μm) | Lfeat (mm) | Llag (mm) | Nfeat | Q (μl/min) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dyn1 | 50 | 200 | 44 | 2 | 1.75 | 288 | 15 |
| Dyn2 | 50 | 200 | 44 | 8 | 7.00 | 72 | 15 |
