Rapid fluid flow and mixing induced in microchannels using surface acoustic waves
Very-high-frequency surface acoustic waves, generated and transmitted along singlecrystal lithium niobate, are used to drive homogeneous aqueous suspensions of polystyrene nanoparticles along microchannels. At a few hundred milliwatts, uniform and mixing flows with speeds of up to 10mm/s were obtained in centimetres-long rectangular channels with crosssectional dimensions of tens to a few hundr...
متن کاملFabrication inside microchannels using fluid flow.
This Account summarizes techniques for carrying out microfabrication of structures with dimensions down to 10 microm in microchannels that are 0.02-2 mm wide. These methods are largely based on the exploitation of laminar flow at low Reynolds number (Re) to control the spatial delivery of reagents. These methods are illustrated by fabrication of fibers, microelectrode arrays, arrays of crystals...
متن کاملRapid mixing using two-phase hydraulic focusing in microchannels.
Rapid mixing is important in biomedical analysis. In this study, rapid mixing is obtained through two-phase hydraulic focusing in microchannels. Two mixing streams are focused by two sheath streams. Assuming a laminar flow in the channel, the spreading behavior of the two immiscible fluids is modeled and solved analytically. The results show that both viscosity ratio and flow rate ratio between...
متن کاملSwimming Using Surface Acoustic Waves
Microactuation of free standing objects in fluids is currently dominated by the rotary propeller, giving rise to a range of potential applications in the military, aeronautic and biomedical fields. Previously, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have been shown to be of increasing interest in the field of microfluidics, where the refraction of a SAW into a drop of fluid creates a convective flow, a p...
متن کاملUniform mixing in paper-based microfluidic systems using surface acoustic waves.
Paper-based microfluidics has recently received considerable interest due to their ease and low cost, making them extremely attractive as point-of-care diagnostic devices. The incorporation of basic fluid actuation and manipulation schemes on paper substrates, however, afford the possibility to extend the functionality of this simple technology to a much wider range of typical lab-on-a-chip ope...
