Characterization and modeling of a bulk acoustic wave particle focusing device

Ravula, Surendra K.; Branch, Darren W.; Westlake, Karl W.; Brener, Igal B.

In this paper, we discuss our work in the modeling and characterization of an acousdc-microfluidlc focusing device that uses standing bulk acoustic waves to focus particles under flow. Modeling was done using Comsol Multiphysics® (Comsol, Los Angeles, CA), a multiphysics FEM tool, and the performance of the device was assessed through coefficient of variance (CV) measurements using a confocal microscope. © 2008 IEEE.
