Acoustic actuation of fluids at small scales may finally enable a comprehensive lab-on-a-
chip revolution in microfluidics, overcoming long-standing difficulties in fluid and particle …

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 …

Fluid manipulations at the microscale and beyond are powerfully enabled through the use of
10–1,000-MHz acoustic waves. A superior alternative in many cases to other microfluidic …

This article reviews acoustic microfluidics: the use of acoustic fields, principally ultrasonics,
for application in microfluidics. Although acoustics is a classical field, its promising, and …

Lab-on-a-chip devices leverage microfluidic technologies to enable chemical and biological
processes at small scales. However, existing microfluidic channel networks are typically …

As the rapid development of medical devices, micropumps have received increasing and
widespread attentions for a variety of healthcare applications. The ongoing challenges for …

Manipulation of microscale particles and fluid liquid droplets is an important task for lab-on-a-
chip devices for numerous biological researches and applications, such as cell detection …

A microfluidic device was developed to separate heterogeneous particle or cell mixtures in a
continuous flow using acoustophoresis. In this device, two identical surface acoustic waves …

Raman spectroscopy is a technique widely used to detect defects in semiconductors
