In today's era, there are significant difficulties to identify and separate germs from an untreated blood sample or serum. Many passive separation methods are available which includes pinched flow fractionation inertial, hydrodynamics, hydrophores is for filtration. This work presents microfluidic model by integrating electrodes on the inner surface of a microchannel. FEA modelling includes electric potential, velocity, electric field distribution and particle trajectory. Total number of electrodes used is 4 with the channel length of 260 μm and voltage for separation is around 3.7 to 5.3V. Main advantage of the model is that it is suitable for implementation in microfluidic device applications.
