Influence of flow rate and initial cell number on the stage distribution in the positive fractions. Shift in the proportion of infected cells in the positive fractions that are schizonts, segmenters or gametocytes with changing initial infected cell number (panel A, Spearman correlation coefficient: + 0.48, p = 0.0068, n = 30) and flow rate (panel B, Spearman correlation coefficient: + 0.67, p = 0.0064, n = 15). Stages containing higher quantities of haemozoin bind preferentially to the bead matrix at higher initial infected cell numbers and higher flow rates.
