Size matters when it comes to sorting biological materials. From identifying pathogens to screening for drug treatments, the ability to quickly identify and separate particles based on their size is an increasingly important tool in diagnosing and treating patients, according to Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Professor in Penn State’s Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics. Cheng and his international collaborators at Xiangtan University in China developed a low-cost, efficient way to fabricate a flexible sorting device for use in biomedical sensors.
