Acoustic microfluidic devices are powerful tools that use sound waves to manipulate micro-
or nanoscale objects or fluids in analytical chemistry and biomedicine. Their simple device …

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 …

In single-cell analysis, cellular activity and parameters are assayed on an individual, rather
than population-average basis. Essential to observing the activity of these cells over time is …

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 …

Fluid manipulations at the microscale and beyond are powerfully enabled through the use of
10–1,000-MHz acoustic waves. A superior alternative in many cases to other microfluidic …

Synthetic micro-/nanomachines, which are able to mimic the amazing natural system, can
convert energy source into movement, and are expected to help humanity complete …

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are electro-mechanical waves that form on the surface of
piezoelectric crystals. Because they are easy to construct and operate, SAW devices have …

Despite increasing demand in the manipulation of nanoscale objects for next generation
biological and industrial processes, there is a lack of methods for reliable separation …
