Abstract

Acoustic trapping of microbeads and human monocytes are demonstrated in a spherical microchamber (SMC) for the rational manipulation and analysis of cellular microaggregates. We envision a platform technology for non-invasive positioning of beads or cells in 3D without a wall contact in microfluidic flow conditions using mode switching. Future work on our system will be directed towards immune cell-function diagnostics covering a diagnostic gap of in vitro cell testing in 3D and further workflow integration for biomedical research.
