Droplet-based microfluidic systems generate, manipulate and control sub-microlitre droplets
enclosed within an immiscible carrier fluid. Owing to a number of remarkable features, such …

There is a recognized and growing need for rapid and efficient cell assays, where the size of
microfluidic devices lend themselves to the manipulation of cellular populations down to the …

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 realization of microscale total analysis systems and lab-on-a-chip technologies requires
efficient actuation (mixing, pum**, atomizing, nebulizing, driving, etc.) of fluids on the …

Microfluidic technologies have a unique ability to control more precisely and effectively on
two-phase flow systems in comparison with macro systems. Controlling the size of the …

A method to manipulate and control droplets on a surface is presented. The method is based
on inducing electric dipoles inside the droplets using a homogeneous external electric field …

Abstract The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has urged the establishment
of a global-wide rapid diagnostic system. Current widely-used tests for COVID-19 include …

The recent boom in single-cell omics has brought researchers one step closer to
understanding the biological mechanisms associated with cell heterogeneity. Rare cells that …

Acoustic-based fluorescence activated cell sorters (FACS) have drawn increased attention
in recent years due to their versatility, high biocompatibility, high controllability, and simple …

In this study, we have investigated the motion of polystyrene microparticles inside a sessile
droplet of water actuated by surface acoustic waves (SAWs), which produce an acoustic …
