Previous work by Huang showed that acoustic tweezers work by setting up a standing surface acoustic wave.
Acoustic tweezers use the same low - power acoustic waves as those used in existing ultrasound machines, so they are gentle and can preserve cell integrity.
«The value of acoustic tweezers for studying cell - to - cell information transfer is their ability to separate the cells to a precise distance or to bring them to a predetermined contact,» said Stephen J. Benkovic, Evan Pugh Professor and Eberly Chair in Chemistry.
Because the acoustic tweezers can be created on a substrate that is transparent, the researchers can use microscopes to view the resulting cell alignments.
«Acoustic tweezers manipulate cell - to - cell contact.»
«Tilted acoustic tweezers separate cells gently.»
Because the acoustic tweezers operate in a vertical channel that holds the cell - containing liquid, the researchers can trap the cells in suspension or allow them to settle onto the surface of the substrate.
«This acoustic tweezers technology is a significant boon to the field of X-ray crystallography.
«Acoustic tweezers device expands the range of x-ray crystallography.»
(A) Schematic of an acoustic tweezers device used to manipulate protein crystals (B) A photograph of the device compared to a US quarter (C) Clusters of crystals (top) can be separated and patterned (bottom).
Acoustic tweezers is a microfluidic device that utilizes ultrasound waves produced by piezoelectric transducers to gently and precisely position biological samples without damage.
