Droplet manipulation in a microfluidic chamber with acoustic radiation pressure and acoustic streaming.
The present paper reports a novel manipulation method for droplets using acoustic radiation pressure and acoustic streaming. In an acoustic field, droplets deform, oscillate and move in a wide range of applied frequencies. The behavior of a droplet depends on the droplet size, acoustic field and interfacial tension between the two phases. The acoustic field is controlled by the voltage and freq...
متن کاملAcoustofluidics 14: Applications of acoustic streaming in microfluidic devices.
In part 14 of the tutorial series "Acoustofluidics--exploiting ultrasonic standing wave forces and acoustic streaming in microfluidic systems for cell and particle manipulation", we provide a qualitative description of acoustic streaming and review its applications in lab-on-a-chip devices. The paper covers boundary layer driven streaming, including Schlichting and Rayleigh streaming, Eckart st...
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 کاملA simple and novel method for acoustic streaming power measurement of ultrasonic horn
Ultrasonic horn with transfer of acoustic wave into an aqueous solution results in unique properties. When, transfer of sound wave into a liquid results in liquid movement in the direction of wave propagation which gradually loses its energy due to the viscous friction. This wave motion induces a flow which is known as acoustic streaming or micro-streaming. In this article, a simple innovative ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic on-demand droplet merging using surface acoustic waves.
Individual droplets can be isolated within microfluidic systems by use of an immiscible carrier layer. This type of two phase systems, often termed "digital microfluidics", find wide ranging applications in chemical synthesis and analysis. To conduct on-chip biochemical analysis, a key step is to be able to merge droplets selectively in order to initiate the required reactions. In this paper, a...
