This project aims to innovate how tiny objects in mixed samples are sorted using the forces generated by fluids that are both viscous and elastic. The developed technology is expected to break the limitations of conventional methods by automating sample processing and by enabling the sorting capability based on not only size, but also shape and fluid properties. This will meet the growing demand for rapid processing of complex real-world environmental samples. The expected outcomes include new knowledge and techniques for sorting algae and insects from water samples for the assessment of water quality and biodiversity. It is expected to benefit Australians by providing faster, cheaper, and more efficient environmental monitoring methods.

该项目旨在创新如何使用粘性和弹性流体产生的力对混合样品中的微小物体进行分类。开发的技术有望打破传统方法的局限性，通过自动化样品处理，并通过实现不仅基于尺寸，而且基于形状和流体性质的分选能力。这将满足日益增长的快速处理复杂现实环境样品的需求。预期成果包括从水样中分选藻类和昆虫的新知识和技术，以评估水质和生物多样性。它有望通过提供更快、更便宜、更有效的环境监测方法使澳大利亚人受益。
