Novel Applications for Surface Acoustic Wave Devices

Others

Patent: 7,942,568
*Abstract

The invention uses surface acoustic wave devices to improve performance and reliability of binding assays and to introduce controlled mixing in microfluidic channels.

          

Potential Applications:
Lab-on-a-chip devices used in:

  • Filtration
  • Biosensing
  • Bioseparations
  • Microarray screening
  • Receptor-ligand affinity screening
  • Genetic library screening
  • Monitoring of food and water supplies

          

Advantages:

Mixes without using mechanical parts, leading to:

  • Improved efficiency and reliability
  • Less damage to biological molecules in fluids
  • No susceptibility to biofouling and channel clogging
  • Adaptability to a wide range of geometries
  • Reduction of dead volume by direct integration into microfluidic systems
