Abstract
Rapid enrichment of micro- and nanoscale biological particles in microliter volumes presents substantial potential for applications in biosensing, disease diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions. Herein, a dual-wave hybrid acoustofluidic centrifuge (DHAC) technique is presented, which generates both Rayleigh and Shear Horizontal waves by optimizing the angle between the electrode and the reference flat of the piezoelectric substrate. The dual waves generate a complex acoustic field within the droplet, enabling the effective concentration of nanoparticles and various biological particles. The DHAC efficiently concentrates micro- and nanoscale particles ranging from 50 nm to 1 m within a 150 L sample in 120 s, operating at 34.8 MHz with a chip power of 31 dBm, achieving an enrichment rate approximately 3.6 times higher than that of a single-wave acoustofluidic centrifuge. Furthermore, the cell viability of 293-F cells after 1 h of acoustic excitation in the DHAC device exceeded 90%, further confirming its high biocompatibility. This technology offers significant potential as an advanced tool for precise biochemical analysis and effective disease diagnostics.
