ACOUSTOPHORESIS
Different functions on samples (on a surface or in channels)
Two kinds of acousto-fluidic interactions :
- Low frequency (<100 kHz) standing waves
- Flexural plate waves
- Step by step displacement
- High frequency travelling waves
- Surface acoustic waves (SAW)
- Acoustic streaming
- Linear and step by step displacement.
