title = "Particle separation, chemical gradient control and micromixing via focused travelling surface acoustic waves (F-TSAW)",
abstract = "We demonstrate a novel focused travelling surface acoustic waves (F-TSAW) based microchip to continuously separate microparticles, generate chemical gradient, and uniformly mix fluids inside a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel. Previously reported acoustofluidic based separator [1] used standing surface acoustic waves (SSAW) whereas gradient generator [2] and micromixers [3] depended on oscillating bubbles. Our microchip requires a single focusing transducer and is void of oscillating bubbles. A cumbersome microchannel alignment step, which is essential for the working of SSAW particle separator, is also eliminated. All three functions - separation, gradient generation and micromixing - are performed using high frequency F-TSAW and appropriate microchannel design.",
