Label-free microfluidic enrichment of ring-stage Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells using non-inertial hydrodynamic lift

Table 1 Parasitaemia (%) in samples from inlet, outlet 1 and outlet 2 and the enrichment for iRBCs in the ring and in later stages in three independent sorting runs, respectively

Cell stage	Inlet	Outlet 1	Outlet 2	Enrichment (rings)	Enrichment (later stages)
Ring (~8 h p.i.)	1.6	1.6	6.1	3.8	---
Later stages	---	---	---	---	---
Ring (~10 h p.i.)	3.2	2.6	15.8	4.7	---
Later stages	0.6	0.5	1.8	---	3.0
