    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to microbubble generator devices for deflecting objects in a liquid, systems for sorting objects that utilize such devices, and methods for fabricating such devices. At least one embodiment relates to a micro-fluidic device for deflecting objects in a liquid. The device includes a substrate for providing an object-containing liquid thereon. The device also includes a microbubble generator that includes at least one microbubble generating element. The microbubble generator is located on a surface of the substrate and in direct contact with the object-containing liquid when the object-containing liquid is provided on the substrate. The at least one microbubble generating element is configured to deflect a single object in the object-containing liquid through generation of a plurality of microbubbles.

    Abstract: A microfluidic routing device for routing objects of interest in a microfluidic flow includes a substrate; a first layer provided on the substrate, in which the first layer forms a bottom wall of a microfluidic channel. At least two holes through the first layer form respectively an inlet and an outlet for the microfluidic channel The microfluidic routing device further includes a second layer spaced away from the first layer, in which the second layer forms a top wall of the microfluidic channel. The second layer is configured to transmit an optical signal from the microfluidic channel. The microfluidic routing device includes an actuator for actuating the objects of interest in a sorting junction of the microfluidic channel.
