Abstract : For the purpose of separating particles in a sample fluid at the size threshold of 25μm, a simplified microfluidic
device with the pinched flow segment was designed. The ratio of the sample fluid with the particles and the buffer fluid with
water was 1:10 in this microfluidic device. The channel depth of the pinched flow segment is 110μm, and the depth of the
sample fluid and the buffer fluid is 10μm:100μm.The flow simulation of microfluidic device using the finite-volume method
was conducted to validate the design of the pinched flow segment. It was found that the more than 25μm particles were
completely moved from the upper channel to the lower channel. Moreover, the designed microfluidic device was fabricated
using 3D printer and the industrial double faced tape with the thickness of less than 10% variation. It was found that the
separation performance of the fabricated microfluidic device was good agreement with the flow simulation results.
