Free-Surface Microfluidics: Exploring New Actuation and Sensing Methods

Yu G., Lei N., Chen X., Xue W., Xu J., Xue W., Washington State University, US

Unlike traditional microchannel-based microfluidics, free-surface microfluidics features no channel, ease to clean, simple design fabrication and operation, as well as external access to the samples. It has been proven that free-surface droplets can be actuated [...]

Microfluidic manipulation of Caenorhabditis elegans using acoustic radiation forces

Yu G., Chen X., Xu J., Washington State University, US

The ability to precisely trap, transport and manipulate micrometer-sized objects is very important in microfluidic applications. Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is one of the most commonly used animals in biological and medical research due to [...]
