This MicroElectroMechanical System (MEMS) allows the remote manipulation of particles, cells and droplets lying in a liquid sample with a high selectivity (one particle can be selected and moved independently of its neighbors).
This technology relies on the use of a specific kind of surface acoustic waves called swirling surface acoustic waves, which are synthesized at the surface of piezoelectric material with Interdigitated transducers.
These waves once transmitted to a liquid sample create a localized acoustical trap.
