This review describes the use of ultrasound for inducing and retaining cell-cell contact in
multi-well microplates combined with live-cell fluorescence microscopy. This platform has …

Studying cellular mechanics allows important insights into its cytoskeletal composition,
developmental stage, and health. While many force spectroscopy assays exist that allow …

The objective of this study is to design a novel and efficient portable lab-on-a-CD (LOCD)
microfluidic device for separation of specific cells (target cells) using magnetic beads. In this …

Acoustic manipulation of particles and cells has been widely used for trapping and
separation in microfluidic devices. Previously, the resonant components of these devices …

Microfluidics-based technologies are emerging solutions towards cell separation process.
They rely on various physical principles, such as dielectrophoretic force, hydrodynamic …

Analyzing cancer cell compressibility with single-cell resolution is of high interest in
understanding cancer metastasis as well as in other cell biology applications. Here, a multi …

Acoustic microfluidics (or acoustofluidics) provides a non-contact and label-free means to
manipulate and interrogate bioparticles. Owing to their biocompatibility and precision …

We characterize and quantify the performance of ultrasonic particle aggregation and
positioning in a 100-well microplate. We analyze the result when operating a planar …

The Dielectrophoresis (DEP) phenomenon has been widely used for cell separation in
recent years. The experimental measurement of the DEP force is one of the concerns of …

For detecting cells by Surface Acoustic Wave sensors, a sacrificial layer with antigens is
usually used to trap cells. This paper introduces a new idea where Dielectrophoresis force …
