Numerical simulation for protein focusing in a microfluidic device

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The microfluidic channel presents a unique platform for the focusing of protein molecules by electrophoretic force. A numerical analysis of the proposed microfluidic platform to achieve focusing of protein molecules is carried out in COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2. Electric potential distribution, fluid flow patterns, particle trajectories are observed in the numerical study. Effects of parameters such as electrode inclination angle, potential difference, and velocity on protein focusing are also reported.
