The Silent Force: Acoustic Trapping in Microfluidics: Exploring the Design and Fabrication of an Acoustofluidic Device for Microbead Trapping and Manipulation

Mechanical forces are integral to the functionality and behavior of biological systems, from the cellular to the molecular level. Acoustic force spectroscopy (AFS), an emerging field, seeks to explore these intricate dynamics. Traditional methods in AFS, particularly those using bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices, still lack sample visibility and...
