A novel concept of an acoustic valve in the microfluidic channel is reported in this work for the first time. The acoustic valve is a controllable virtual barrier constructed by...
Particle enrichment is an important preparation/collection process in biomedical and biochemical experiments, but enrichment in droplets is harder to realize than in continuous fluid. We demonstrate an intra-droplet particle enrichment in a focused acoustic field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
