Summary:Cell separation and the diagnosis is an important step in the medical or Biological areas of research. The cell separation can be done by various techniques. A design is built with an array of micro-pillars where the micro-pillars acts as a filters which is used for the separation of spherical and non-spherical particles without the use of any external fields. The micro-pillars are designed in I-shape rather than a conventional shapeto separate plasma from blood where the diameter and height of each pillar is 12μm and 15μm respectively and the distance between the pillars are 8μm at the middle and 2μm at the edges. This paper discuss about the design of filter for particles separation without applying any external fields, consuming lower bio samples and lesser processing timein biomedical application.
