Résumé

In this work, we present a pre-analytical module based on the combination of microfluidic and electroacoustic technologies to intercept and sort submicron biological particles. It is composed by assembling a lithium niobate (LN) substrate for acoustic function and a micromachined glass substrate for microfluidic channel. The interference between the two surface acoustic waves (SAWs) generated by inter digital transducers (IDTs) create a distribution of an acoustic radiation force (ARF). This force affects differently particles depending on their physical proprieties. The device is powered by an electronic circuit with a phase shifter to move the node of the standing surface acoustic wave (SSAW) along the channel width. When the device is powered at resonance frequency, experience has shown a submicron particles alignement at a fixed position along the channel. By shifting the SSAW phase, the particles are driven to one of the three channel outlets.
