Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic surface standing wave microfluidic chip for micro-particle separation and application, belongs to the technical field of microfluidic analysis, and aims at the problems in the prior art that when a microfluidic chip is used for separating micro-particles, parameter design of the ultrasonic surface standing wave action area is judged only according to experience, particle separation efficiency is low and a large amount of time and cost are wasted. The invention provides a method for separating micro-particles based on an ultrasonic surface standing wave microfluidic chip. The method comprises the steps: determining the size of the sectional area of an internal channel of a microfluidic cavity of the microfluidic chip, the length of an ultrasonic standing wave action area, the inclination angle of the interdigital transducer, the phase change rate of the interdigital transducer, the aperture size of the interdigital transducer, the liquid flow rate during working and the input voltage, and carrying out particle separation. During micro-particle separation, chip design mainly relates to an ultrasonic surface standing wave action area, other areasand focusing methods are not limited, particle separation operation steps and device preparation difficulty are reduced, and particle separation efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microfluidic analysis, more specifically, to an ultrasonic surface standing wave microfluidic chip for particle separation and its application. Background technique [0002] In recent years, ultrasonic microfluidics has attracted widespread attention due to its characteristics of no contact, no label and good biocompatibility. Ultrasonic microfluidic chips can be used to manipulate, focus, arrange and separate microparticles or cells. Ultrasonic microfluidic chips can be divided into two types based on ultrasonic body waves and based on ultrasonic surface waves. Unlike the bulk wave-based method, the ultrasonic surface wave-based method does not depend on the resonance generated by the channel wall, and has a flexible design space and strong application potential. Among surface wave chips, standing wave chips have a higher acoustic energy density and are widely used. [0003] An important application o...
