Reusable lab-on-a-chip uses acoustic waves to manipulate fluid droplets / Lab-on-a-chip riutilizzabile utilizza le onde acustiche per manipolare le goccioline di fluido Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa A photo showing the digital acoustofluidic device with a drop of blood floating on the carrier layer of fluorinated oil / Una foto che mostra il dispositivo digitale acofluidico con una goccia di sangue che galleggia sullo strato portante di olio fluorurato Researchers in the US have developed a way to manipulate and mix droplets of fluids by having them surf on acoustic waves in oil. The group, from Duke University in North Carolina, claims that the technology could form the basis of a reusable and programmable biomedical chip for applications ranging from diagnostics to laboratory-based research. So-called lab-on-a-chip systems have played an increasingly important role in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors, but bec
