“…1b). A number of fundamental studies have focused on understanding this particular behavior 106,107 , and recently Rezk et al showed that fingering instabilities can arise under some conditions, leading to soliton-wave like propagation of liquid fingers away from the droplet. 108 In addition to bulk liquid motion, the streaming effect also forms capillary waves on the surface of the liquid and can lead to the breakup of the droplet or a liquid film to form jets, large drops, or microscale drops (atomization or aerosolization).…”

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs), are electro-mechanical waves that form on the surface of piezoelectric crystals. Because they are easy to construct and operate, SAW devices have proven to be versatile and powerful platforms for either direct chemical sensing or for upstream microfluidic processing and sample preparation. This review summarizes recent advances in the development of SAW devices for chemical sensing and analysis. The use of SAW techniques for chemical detection in both gaseous and liquid media is discussed, as well as recent fabrication advances that are pointing the way for the next generation of SAW sensors. Similarly, applications and progress in using SAW devices as microfluidic platforms are covered, ranging from atomization and mixing to new approaches to lysing and cell adhesion studies. Finally, potential new directions and perspectives on the field as it moves forward are offered, with a specific focus on potential strategies for making SAW technologies for bioanalytical applications.
