Acoustophoresis in Variously Shaped Liquid Droplets

چکیده
cells, DNA-coated microspheres and microorganisms, is very important in life science studies and biomedical applications. In this study, acoustic radiation force in an ultrasonic standing wave field is used for micro-objects manipulation, a technique termed as acoustophoresis. Free surfaces of liquid droplets are used as sound reflectors to confine sound waves inside the droplets. Two techniques were developed for precise control of droplet shapes: edge pinning and hydrophilic/hydrophobic interface pinning. For all 10

The ability to precisely trap, transport and manipulate micrometre-sized objects, including biological cells, DNA-coated microspheres and microorganisms, is very important in life science studies and biomedical applications. In this study, the acoustic radiation force in an ultrasonic standing wave field is used for micro-objects manipulation, a technique termed as acoustophoresis. Free surface...
متن کاملMorphological wetting transitions at ring-shaped surface domains.
The wetting behavior of ring-shaped (or annular) surface domains is studied both experimentally and theoretically. The ring-shaped domains are lyophilic and embedded in a lyophobic substrate. Liquid droplets deposited on these domains can attain a variety of morphologies depending on the liquid volume and on the dimensions of the ringlike surface domains. In the experiments, the liquid volume i...
متن کاملDeformation and breakup of high-viscosity droplets with symmetric microfluidic cross flows.
The dynamic response of highly viscous droplets to a sharp increase in the surrounding liquid velocity is experimentally investigated in a square microchannel junction. The local injection of the continuous phase from symmetric side channels onto a train of droplets produces a large velocity contrast between the front and the rear of droplets, yielding a broad range of time-dependent deformatio...
متن کاملParticle capture processes and evaporation on a microscopic scale in wet filters.
This paper details results of an experimental study of the capture of solid and liquid aerosols on fibrous filters wetted with water. A microscopic cell containing a single fibre (made from a variety of materials) was observed via a microscope, with a high speed CCD camera used to dynamically image the interactions between liquid droplets, zeolite and PSL particles and fibres. Variable quantiti...
متن کاملHemicylindrical and toroidal liquid microlens formed by pyro-electro-wetting.
We found that by opportune functionalization of a polar dielectric substrate, a self-arrangement of hemicylindrical or toroidal-shaped liquid droplets can be obtained. The process takes place when a thermal stimulus is provided to a poled substrate whose surface is covered by an oily substance layer. Liquid droplet self-arrangement is due to the pyroelectric effect, and interferometric characte...
