In this work, we introduce a PDMS microchannel system, produced partially through the use of 3D printing, which can be easily integrated with any flat form factor sensor platform, such as electrodes deposited on a silicon wafer. The system is passive, requiring no external actuation. The channel system is tested with both blood mimicking fluid (100% particle removal) and porcine whole blood (95% particle removal), and the ease of integration with a sensor platform is demonstrated. Such a device is a step toward the realization of widespread lab-on-a-chip deployment.
