Fig. 5From: Elasto-inertial microfluidics for bacteria separation from whole blood for sepsis diagnosticsBacteria separation from PBS and whole blood. a Separation of fluorescent tag expressed bacteria in PBS, bright field and fluorescent images from middle (M) and side (S) outlets. b Quantitative separation efficiency of bacterial spiked PBS and whole blood. The yield of bacteria collected at the side outlet was 82% for PBS and 76% for bacteria spiked in whole bloodBack to article page
