Submicron separation of microspheres via travelling surface acoustic waves.
Submicron separation is the segregation of particles having a diameter difference of less than one micrometre. We present an acoustofluidic particle separator with submicron separation resolution to study the continuous, label-free, and contactless separation of polystyrene (PS) particles based on their acoustofluidic parameters such as size, density, compressibility and shape. In this work, th...
متن کاملDetermination of sediments diameter using acoustic waves
The use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientists recently. Since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they can be used in many scientific fields. The main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanisms of sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, p...
متن کاملThree-dimensional manipulation of single cells using surface acoustic waves.
The ability of surface acoustic waves to trap and manipulate micrometer-scale particles and biological cells has led to many applications involving "acoustic tweezers" in biology, chemistry, engineering, and medicine. Here, we present 3D acoustic tweezers, which use surface acoustic waves to create 3D trapping nodes for the capture and manipulation of microparticles and cells along three mutual...
متن کاملFast Inertial Microfluidic Actuation and Manipulation Using Surface Acoustic Waves
Though uncommon in most microfluidic systems due to the dominance of viscous and capillary stresses, it is possible to drive microscale fluid flows with considerable inertia using surface acoustic waves (SAWs), which are nanometer order amplitude electro-elastic waves that can be generated on a piezoelectric substrate. Due to the confinement of the acoustic energy to a thin localized region alo...
متن کاملSwimming Using Surface Acoustic Waves
Microactuation of free standing objects in fluids is currently dominated by the rotary propeller, giving rise to a range of potential applications in the military, aeronautic and biomedical fields. Previously, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have been shown to be of increasing interest in the field of microfluidics, where the refraction of a SAW into a drop of fluid creates a convective flow, a p...
