High-throughput and directed microparticle manipulation in complex-shaped maze chambers based on travelling surface acoustic waves

Abstract

High-throughput automated manipulation of microparticles in complex-shaped environments has been demonstrated with great potential in the fields of pharmaceutical microfluidics. Generally, high efficient actuation method for functional microparticles’ manipulation in...

Surface acoustic wave manipulation of bioparticles

“…The transport of cells in specific pathways is of great value in engineering and clinical research, such as directed tissue engineering, 156,157 organic macromolecule assembly, 158 and targeted drug delivery. 92 In 2003, Wixforth et al 159 reported for the first time that TSAWs generated by a set of cross-finger transducers on a piezoelectric substrate drove droplets along a pre-determined trajectory. As shown in Fig.…”
