Microfluidics Cellular Adhesion

Caption

Image shows a close-up view of a microfluidic device that exploits the differences in adhesion strength between derived stem cells and contaminating cell types in a heterogeneous culture to selectively isolate cells of interest using fluid shear forces. Georgia Tech researchers designed the technique to separate the cells.
