Recently, piezoelectric thin films including zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium nitride (AlN)
have found a broad range of lab-on-chip applications such as biosensing, particle/cell …

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 extraordinary responsiveness and large diversity of self-assembled structures of liquid
crystals are well documented and they have been extensively used in devices like displays …

Recent developments on the preparation and application of ZnO films for acoustic wave-
based microfluidics and biosensors are reviewed in this paper. High quality and strongly …

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 …

We demonstrate a simple and efficient device for the continuous label-free separation of
microparticles using travelling surface acoustic waves (TSAW). A focusing interdigitated …

Directed enzyme evolution has proven to be a powerful tool for improving a range of
properties of enzymes through consecutive rounds of diversification and selection. However …

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 …

Whether reagents and samples need to be combined to achieve a desired reaction, or
precise concentrations of solutions need to be mixed and delivered downstream, thorough …

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that actively secreted by most live cells via endosome
pathway. They distribute ubiquitously in body fluids and play important roles in physiological …
