Microanalysis Using Acoustically Actuated Droplets Pinned Onto a Thread

An acoustic wave-assisted microscale assay platform is demonstrated. Liquid droplets containing samples and reagents are dispensed and pinned onto a hydrophobic thread, and actuated by sound waves. The transport of droplets is achieved by modulating sound emitted by two sources. The resulting sound...
