Standing surface acoustic wave (SSAW) based multichannel cell sorting

Lab Chip. 2012 Nov 7;12(21):4228-31. doi: 10.1039/c2lc40751e.

Abstract

We introduce a novel microfluidic device for cell sorting in continuous flow using tunable standing surface acoustic waves. This method allows individual cells to be precisely directed into five different outlet channels in a single step. It is versatile, simple, label-free, non-invasive, and highly controllable.
