Separation of plasma, erythrocytes, and platelets was studied in T-shaped bifurcations prepared by a casting technique. The diameters of the side and main channel were 100 microns and 200 microns, respectively. Small blood samples (about 20 microliters) were collected from the side channel for determination of erythrocyte and platelet concentrations which were compared to the corresponding values in the reservoir. Conversely to the well-known erythrocyte reduction due to plasma skimming a relative enrichment of platelets in the side branch was observed. The thickness of the plasma layer in the main channel was found to depend on the aggregation tendency of the erythrocytes for Reynolds numbers around 0.3.
通过铸造技术制备的T形分叉结构中血浆、红细胞和血小板的分离情况得到了研究。侧通道和主通道的直径分别为100微米和200微米。从侧通道采集少量血液样本（约20微升）以测定红细胞和血小板浓度，并与储液器中的相应值进行比较。与因血浆撇取导致红细胞减少这一众所周知的情况相反，观察到侧支中血小板相对富集。发现主通道中血浆层的厚度取决于红细胞在雷诺数约为0.3时的聚集趋势。
