Abstract
An apparatus and method for sorting particles in a laminar flow microfluidic channel includes a cantilevered coaxial flow injector in a microfluidic device, the cantilevered coaxial flow injector including an elongated cantilever element integrated into the microfluidic device. A coaxial channel runs through the elongated cantilever element, where coaxial channel is sized to pass particles of a predetermined size. An actuator is coupled to the elongated cantilever element, for actuating said elongated cantilever element.
