    摘要: Acoustophoretic devices are disclosed. The devices include a flow chamber, an ultrasonic transducer, a reflector, an inlet, a filtrate outlet, a concentrate outlet, and optionally a lipid collection trap. The ultrasonic transducer and reflector create a multi-dimensional acoustic standing wave in the flow chamber that traps and separates red blood cells and/or lipids from blood. Concentrated red blood cells can be recovered via the concentrate outlet, the lipids can be recovered via the lipid collection trap, and the remaining blood can be recovered via the filtrate outlet. Methods for separating blood components (e.g., red blood cells, lipids, platelets, white blood cells) from blood are also disclosed. The red blood cells can undergo washing with a solvent to remove undesired admixtures. Cryoprotectants can be added or removed from the blood.

    摘要: Devices for separating materials from a host fluid are disclosed. The devices 100 include a flow chamber, an ultrasonic transducer 120, and a reflector 130. The ultrasonic transducer 120 and reflector 130 create an angled acoustic standing wave oriented at an angle A relative to the direction of mean flow 116 through the flow chamber. The angled acoustic standing wave 122 results in an acoustic radiation force having an axial force component that deflects the materials, so that the materials and the host fluid can thus be separated. The angled acoustic standing wave can be oriented at an angle of about 20° to about 70° relative to the direction of mean flow through the flow chamber to deflect, collect, differentiate, or fractionate the materials from the fluid flowing through the device at flow rates of about 400 mL/min up to about 700 mL/min.

    摘要: Devices for separating materials from a host fluid are disclosed. The devices include an acoustic chamber, the figure indicates the view perpendicular to an ultrasonic transducer (130), having an inlet at the bottom and an outlet at the top. The ultrasonic transducer (130) and reflector create a multi-dimensional acoustic standing wave in the acoustic chamber that traps the materials and permits a continuous separation of the materials from the host fluid (vertical flow direction 120). The materials and the host fluid can thus be separately collected. Multiple sets of trapping lines (132) are generated by the acoustic standing wave, and the transducer (130) is oriented or has a shape to minimize cross-sectional area for straight vertical channels between the trapping lines.

    摘要: Acoustic perfusion devices for separating biological cells from other material in a fluid medium are disclosed. The devices include an inlet port, an outlet port, and a collection port that are connected to an acoustic chamber. An ultrasonic transducer creates an acoustic standing wave in the acoustic chamber that permits a continuous flow of fluid to be recovered through the collection port while keeping the biological cells within the acoustic chamber to be returned to the bioreactor from which the fluid medium is being drawn.

    摘要: An acoustophoresis device which includes a substantially vertical flow path of the fluid mixture in order to improve separation of particles / secondary fluid from a primary fluid is disclosed. The vertical flow path reduces velocity non-uniformities in the acoustic chamber resulting from gravity forces. The device includes an acoustic chamber in which multidimensional acoustic standing waves are generated. The fluid can be introduced into the acoustic chamber using a dump diffuser in which a plurality of inlets enter near the bottom of the acoustic chamber such that flow symmetry reduces both, gravity driven flow non-uniformities, and any flow interference effects between inlet mixture flow into the acoustic chamber and the continuous gravity driven particle cluster drop out.
