Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A fluidic concentrator device that includes an inlet channel, a processing channel, and at least two output channels, and a pump for movement of a particle containing sample through the concentrator device. The concentrator device may have separate diversion channels that may be controlled by a valve or a functionally similar diversion technique to collect all of, or fractions of, a particle concentrated stream or a particle depleted stream. The concentrator device may be operable under automated control and further comprise one or more sensors inside, or adjacent to, portions of the processing channel or inlet channel to detect presence or absence or quantity of particles or other physical or chemical properties of the particles or sample flow stream.
