Acoustophoresis: A powerful application in microfluidics for focussing and sorting microparticles — •Toni Schildhauer1, Thomas Henkel2, and J. Michael Köhler11Technische Universität Ilmenau, FG.

This work reports the implementation and testing of acoustophoresis into micro structured fluid channels for the purpose of focussing respectively sorting microparticles of different sizes and materials. To get valid images for e.g. flow cytometry cells need to be in the focal plane. Usually particles in microfluidic channels are distributed throughout its whole height, which is a multiple of the particles diameter as well as the range of the focal plane. Acoustophoresis was integrated into a microfluidic chip design of the IPHT Jena. Using micro algae and polystyrene particles in a size range of 10 um it was shown, that all particles can be moved into one plane under the influence of acoustophoretic forces and hence imaged sharply. Furthermore, two new microfluidic chips were designed for particle sorting application by acoustophoresis. With acoustophoresis, sorting by size is achievable up from 1 um upwards. With polystyrene particles in a diameter range from 3 to 25 um, the functioning of the sorting application was confirmed by microscopy imaging and DCS (differential centrifugal sedimentation spectroscopy).
