Abstract

We report an acoustic method for on-demand microfluidic droplet volume control using surface acoustic waves. Acoustic waves coupled into the fluid domain impart acoustic radiation force on droplets travelling in a microfluidic channel. Taking advantage of this force, we demonstrate on-demand splitting and merging of water-in-oil droplets in a disposable microfluidic chip. The presented experimental results demonstrate an advanced method for on-demand droplet volume control with improved droplet volume controllability.
