Acoustic microfluidic devices are powerful tools that use sound waves to manipulate micro-
or nanoscale objects or fluids in analytical chemistry and biomedicine. Their simple device …

Solid tumours are often first diagnosed by palpation, suggesting that the tumour is more rigid
than its surrounding environment. Paradoxically, individual cancer cells appear to be softer …

Acoustic waves exert forces when they interact with matter. Sha** ultrasound fields
precisely in 3D thus allows control over the force landscape and should permit particulates …

The recent introduction of surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology onto lab-on-a-chip
platforms has opened a new frontier in microfluidics. The advantages provided by such SAW …

The transport, enrichment, and purification of nanoparticles are fundamental activities in the
fields of biology, chemistry, material science, and medicine. Here, we demonstrate an …

Combining cells, biomaterials and bioactive factors with biophysical cues to engineer cell
and tissue constructs can address various applications, such as regenerative and …

Although label-free cell sorting is desirable for providing pristine cells for further analysis or
use, current approaches lack molecular specificity and speed. Here, we combine real-time …

We calculate the acoustic radiation force from an ultrasound wave on a compressible,
spherical particle suspended in a viscous fluid. Using Prandtl-Schlichting boundary-layer …

Mechanical phenoty** of single cells is an emerging tool for cell classification, enabling
assessment of effective parameters relating to cells' interior molecular content and structure …

This acoustofluidics tutorial focuses on continuous flow-based half wavelength resonator
systems operated in the transversal mode, where the direction of the primary acoustic force …
