In this study we provided quantitative data on red blood cell (RBC) partitioning in 21 divergent bifurcations embedded in a complex in vitro network. In the majority of bifurcations the branch receiving a higher blood fraction received an even higher RBC fraction (classical partitioning). However, in some bifurcations the low-flow branch received a higher RBC flow fraction (reverse partitioning). Moreover, we found that the phase separation is strongly time dependent and some selected bifurcations oscillated between the two types of partitioning.
