ANTISYMMETRIC ACTUATION INCREASES ACOUSTOPHORESIS PERFORMANCE

Andersson, Klara LU ; Lenshof, Andreas LU ; Ohlsson, Pelle LU orcid and Laurell, Thomas LU (2021) 25th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences, MicroTAS 2021 In MicroTAS 2021 - 25th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences p.901-902
Abstract

Antisymmetric, symmetric and standard actuation of acoustofluidic devices were compared in terms of focusability. By imaging the end part of an acoustophoresis separation channel while flowing fluorescent beads through it, we show that beads get more tightly focused by antisymmetric actuation than symmetric and standard actuation at a given electrical input power. This means that antisymmetric actuation is more suitable for single node acoustic focusing as lower input power can be used to reach the same level of performance, or higher throughput can be reached for the same power.
