Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microfluidic analysis, and more specifically, to a design method of an ultrasonic surface standing wave microfluidic chip used for particle separation. Background technique [0002] In recent years, ultrasound microfluidics has attracted widespread attention due to its non-contact, label-free and good biocompatibility characteristics. The ultrasonic microfluidic chip can be used to manipulate, focus, arrange and separate particles or cells. Ultrasonic microfluidic chips can be divided into two types based on ultrasonic body waves and ultrasonic surface waves. Different from the method based on body wave, the method based on ultrasonic surface wave does not rely 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 high acoustic energy density and are widely used. [0003] For the ultrasonic surface...
