Acoustofluidic technologies utilize acoustic waves to manipulate fluids and particles within
fluids, all in a contact-free and biocompatible manner. Over the past decade, acoustofluidic …

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are the guided waves that propagate along the top surface
of a material with wave vectors orthogonal to the normal direction to the surface. Based on …

Accurate and high throughput cell sorting is a critical enabling technology in molecular and
cellular biology, biotechnology, and medicine. While conventional methods can provide high …

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 …

Acoustofluidics, the integration of acoustics and microfluidics, is a rapidly growing research
field that is addressing challenges in biology, medicine, chemistry, engineering, and …

Techniques that can dexterously manipulate single particles, cells, and organisms are
