 in Y splitter and cross-flow electro separation. Researchers investigated experimentally the effect of operational parameters such as voltage and filtration methods on biofluids containing small electrolytes such as sodium and potassium electrolytes and proteins, largely albumin. The experiment modeled the human cardiovascular system by a cardiovascular pump, Y and crossflow methods for electro filtration. The electrodes and metallic mesh were used as electrical field operator to separate charged particles. Several electrical fields from 0.83 to 10 Kv/m were applied. The results demonstrate that with increase of voltage on electrodes and electrical field, the rate of separation increases for both ions and proteins. Considering the results, the performance of cross flow electro separation is better than Y splitter method.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/893.jpg)

This manuscript investigates on electromagnetic separation of ions and proteins in blood, in order to prevent their losses in the filtration procedure. Research team describe the experimental procedures used to determine separation dependence on electric field intensity (electro separation) in Y splitter and cross-flow electro separation.
