Microfluidics

• Microscale Flow Control

Travelling surface acoustic wave-induced acoustic streaming flow and acoustic radiation force acting on the fluid-fluid interface enable on-demand, non-invasive control of microscale fluid flows.

• Microscale Object Control

Inertial microfluidic techniques provide high-throughput separation of microspheres of two kinds based on inertial lift and elastic forces. Also, travelling surface acoustic wave-induced acoustic radiation force acting on the solid-fluid interface enables separation of microspheres based on their mechanical properties.
