Abstract

This work presents a specifically designed spiral type inertial micro-fluidic channel for separating non-motile sperm cell from cellular debris. Demonstration with a mixture of non-motile sperm and red blood cells showed that 82% of sperm could be focused into a separate outlet from the red blood cells.
