Abstract

There is presented a microfluidic device comprising a plurality of layers and a common manifold, wherein a fluid comprising a target population of particles having a specified range of diameters may be processed by the device by flowing from the common manifold through the channels of each layer within the plurality of layers, and fluid collected from a first outlet of each layer within the plurality of layers comprises the target population of particles, and fluid collected from a second outlet of each layer within the plurality of layers is substantially devoid of the target population of particles. A method of use of said device and systems comprising at least one said device are also presented.
