3D-Printed Microneedle Acoustofluidic Mixer for Rapid On-Chip Biochemical Assays
Efficient mixing in microfluidic systems is bottlenecked by laminar flow and diffusion-dominated transport, limiting the performance of biochemical assays such as conversion rates of enzymatic processes. Here, we present an acoustofluidic micromixer based on two-photon polymerization (2PP)-printed three-dimensional microneedles that act as ultrasonic microresonators to generate localized acoustic streaming. The freeform arrangement of the microneedles […]
