Small, Volume 22, Issue 31, 2 June 2026.Traditional single‐cell analysis lacks the capacity for real‐time monitoring. This study presents Microfluidic dielectrophoretic Arresting System (MiDAS), a microelectrofluidic platform using dielectrophoresis for single‐cell and droplet trapping. MiDAS immobilizes diverse samples (cells, beads, droplets) for optical imaging and Raman spectroscopy. Its

Acoustofluidic Tweezers for the 3D Manipulation of Microparticles
2020 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2020 Non-contact manipulation is of great importance in the actuation of micro-robotics. It is challenging to contactless manipulate micro-scale objects over large spatial distance in fluid. Here, we describe a novel approach for the dynamic position control of microparticles in three-dimensional (3D) space, based on high-speed acoustic streaming generated ...

The role of acoustofluidics in targeted drug delivery [PDF]
Biomicrofluidics, 2015 With the fast development of acoustic systems in clinical and therapeutic applications, acoustically driven microbubbles have gained a prominent role as powerful tools to carry, transfer, direct, and target drug molecules in cells, tissues, and tumors in the expanding fields of targeted drug delivery and gene therapy. The aim of the present study is to

Comparison of Acoustic Streaming Flow Patterns Induced by Solid, Liquid and Gas Obstructions
Micromachines, 2020 In this study, acoustic streaming flows inside micro-channels induced by three different types of obstruction—gaseous bubble, liquid droplet and solid bulge—are compared and investigated experimentally by particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) and ...

A robot-assisted acoustofluidic end effector
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractLiquid manipulation is the foundation of most laboratory processes. For macroscale liquid handling, both do-it-yourself and commercial robotic systems are available; however, for microscale, reagents are expensive and sample preparation is difficult.
