| Popis: | In this work, we designed and experimentally tested a microfluidic device for particle separation by using standing surface acoustic waves (SSAW). Emphasis is being placed on an effective microfluidic device being capable of continuous separation of particles in a microchannel design on its size. For this, we developed a miniaturized (e.g., lab-on-a-chip) system for biological and chemical analyses. For demonstration, we experimentally demonstrated that separation of dissimilarly-sized polystyrene particles suspended in water medium was successfully achieved. Numerical simulations were conducted by using COMOSL Multiphysics 5.0 to investigate the effects of sheath layer thickness and particle size on separation efficiency of the microfluidic device. The present numerical and experimental findings were then applied to propose an improved design and fabrication process of Standing surface acoustic waves devices, which has great potential for biological applications. |
