Hydrodynamic methods of separation: (a) the implied forces in a Poiseuille flow for cell separation. Reproduced with permission from [86] (b) the principle of hydrodynamic filtration in a microchannel with many outlets. Reproduced with permission from [81,84]. (c) trajectories analysis of rigid and deformable cells through a contraction for cell separation in two outlets. Reproduced with permission from [87]. (d) principle of deterministic lateral displacement. Reproduced with permission from [86]. (e) separation using inertial flow forces and at high flow rates creating vortices downstream a contraction. Reproduced with permission from [64,88]. (f) extensional forces for cell separation and mechanical analysis. Reproduced with permission from [89].
