Nanofluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip Devices
Acoustophoresis is a method that uses ultrasonic waves to manipulate small particles or droplets in a fluid, typically at the micro or nanoscale. This technique allows for precise control over the movement and positioning of objects in droplet-based microfluidic systems, making it particularly valuable in applications like cell sorting, separation processes, and mixing. By utilizing acoustic forces generated by high-frequency sound waves, acoustophoresis enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of droplet manipulation in lab-on-a-chip devices.
