A recent consensus within an international society for sports traumatology revealed that approximately 40% of ACL grafts are being surgically misplaced in current clinical practice. To help solve… (More)
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) generated on piezoelectric materials have been used as a convenient method for microfl uidic manipulation, where microliter volumes of liquids are actuated by their… (More)
We establish a powerful new acoustic technique to programme complex fluidic functions such as droplet movement, merging, mixing and concentration, on a disposable superstrate.
The development of microfluidic systems is often constrained both by difficulties associated with the chip interconnection to other instruments and by limitations imposed by the mechanisms that can… (More)
One significant challenge in medical diagnostics lies in the development of label-free methods to separate different cells within complex biological samples. Here we demonstrate a generic, low-power… (More)
Microactuation of free standing objects in fluids is currently dominated by the rotary propeller, giving rise to a range of potential applications in the military, aeronautic and biomedical fields.… (More)
The diagnosis of infectious diseases in the Developing World is technologically challenging requiring complex biological assays with a high analytical performance, at minimal cost. By using an… (More)
We demonstrate the use of a phononic crystal to enable the nebulisation of liquid droplets from low-cost disposable arrays, using surface acoustic waves (SAW). The SAWs were generated using… (More)
