Competing Interests
The authors have the following interests. This study was partially supported by ANGLE PLC, who owns the Parsortix system. Most of the work using the IsoFlux system was done on a demonstration machine provided by Fluxion Biosciences. The study was planned and conducted and the data are presented independently of both companies. There are no patents, products in development or marketed products to declare. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, as detailed online in the guide for authors.
