摘要:
A method of forming a multilayer aggregate (120) of objects (O) in a channel (2) comprising a liquid (L), said method comprising: a) providing objects (O) at first (50) and second (60) superposed regions of the channel (2), b) obtaining first (110) and second (111) aggregates of objects (O), optionally by applying transverse acoustic waves, preferably stationary waves, within each region to objects (O), and c) bringing said first (110) and second (111) aggregates into contact to form said multilayer aggregate (120) of objects (O) by submitting said first (110) and second (111) aggregates to: o gravity in absence of acoustic waves, or to o acoustic waves, optionally stationary waves, inducing displacement of said first (110) and second (111) aggregates toward each other.
摘要:
Described herein are microreactors and methods of modifying support particles using acoustic standing waves. A liquid medium containing suspended support particles is flowed along a flow path through a channel, and an acoustic standing wave is applied to the channel to hold the suspended particles at a point in the channel. The held particles are then subjected to one or more reactions by flowing biochemical reactants through the channel. Unbound biological reactant is optionally washed from the channel. The reacted support particles can be released from the acoustic standing wave for further processing using, for example, flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy.
摘要:
Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for processing a biological sample. Methods according to certain embodiments include disrupting a biological sample to produce a disrupted biological sample and acoustically separating larger components from smaller components in the disrupted biological sample. In certain embodiments, methods may include monitoring aggregation while the biological sample is being processed. Methods, in certain instances, also include acoustically separating cells from cellular debris and non-cellular macromolecules as well as magnetically separating magnetically labelled moieties from unlabeled moieties. Systems, including a disrupter, one or more acoustic concentrator devices, feedback monitors and magnetic separation devices suitable for practicing the subject methods are also described.

摘要:
A microcytometer which combines lysing and cytometry into a unified system that achieves blood lysis and white blood cell count in a single device. The device focuses the white cells into a thin ribbon which is then focused into a single stream for analysis.
摘要:
The present invention includes an apparatus and corresponding method for concentrating analytes within a fluid flowing through a tube using acoustic radiation pressure. The apparatus includes a function generator that outputs a radio frequency electrical signal to a transducer that transforms the radio frequency electric signal to an acoustic signal and couples the acoustic signal to the tube. The acoustic signal is converted within the tube to acoustic pressure that concentrates the analytes within the fluid.
