PARC has developed novel methods for separating, collecting, transporting and concentrating inorganic and organic particulates in water, on surfaces, in gels, and from air.

These methods include novel fluidic structures based on centrifugal forces and advanced electrostatic methods. Devices can be scaled into macro-level systems for such applications as membrane-free filtration of particles and desalination. Current efforts are aimed at scaling up filtration devices to 1000L/min.
