Fig. 1

A, B Show the principle of cell movement in U-shaped and W-shaped cross-section, respectively. X represents both microalgae and bacteria cell inside the microchip before separation. Y represents the movement of cells in the microchannels under the influence of the inertial lift force acting on larger cells (microalgae) and Dean drag force acting on smaller cells (bacteria). Z represents cells at their target outlet with microalgae cells occupying the inner outlet and bacteria cell occupying the outer outlet
