Sorting devices used for E. coli. The trajectories for the large particles (displacement mode) are illustrated through four different numbers: critical diameter, deflection angle, absolute deflection, and relative deflection. Critical diameters, DC, are nominal values given based on the geometry of the devices and Equation (1).
| Device Name | Gap (µm) | N | DC (µm) | Channel Length (mm) | Deflection θ | Deflection (µm) | Deflection/Channel Width |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sorting device #1 | 4 | 23 | 1.24 | 9.5 | 2.49° | 400 | 86% |
| Sorting device #2 | 3 | 50 | 0.64 | 22.9 | 1.15° | 450 | 86% |
