To perform (bio)chemical reactions in a contactless and automated fashion, herein, we report an all-acoustic toolbox for performing unit operations (generate, hold, move and merge) on droplets with integrated optical detection. The toolbox was realized using phased arrays of ultrasound transducers in combination with pump and capillary nozzles to generate pendant droplets of required volumes and pulling them away from the tip of the nozzles using acoustic forces, then using the acoustic forces to move and merge droplets followed by quantitative measurements using the integrated optical detection. This is an unprecedented report on droplet generation by pulling pendant droplets using acoustic forces. The generation of aqueous droplets containing different percentages of dimethyl sulfoxide was possible up to 50 % DMSO. The error in the volume of aqueous droplets generated using the approach was between 5.6 and 13 % depending on the volume of the droplet and the transducer voltage. The success rate for holding droplets varied between 78 and 95 % depending on the droplet size and transducer peak-to-peak voltage. Up to six droplets in two columns of three could be generated, moved and merged. Subsequently, a sequence of unit operations was created to implement an esterase enzyme assay, which is widely used in biochemical labs and industrial processes, in levitated droplets. The reaction rate was higher in levitated droplets (2.17 to 5.21 × 10<sup>−3</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> compared to that in microtiter plates (∼2.0 × 10<sup>−3</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>), which we hypothesize is a result of stirring of the droplet by acoustic streaming.

This study investigated the different effects of ozone micro-nano bubbles washing (OMW) and ultrasound washing on the well-being of living crayfish, one of the most economically valuable freshwater aquatic products in China. It has been found that OMW was a gentler and more effective alternative to traditional ultrasonic washing (UW) that reduced physical damage, thus leading to enhanced living vitality, increased intestinal content evacuation rate, and improved surface cleanliness of crayfish before processed as aquatic food. These improvements were attributed to the milder physical force generated by bubbles contraction and collapse than the cavitation and mechanical effects of UW. In addition, the strong cavitation, mechanical, and thermal effects of UW impaired the antioxidant system of crayfish, leading to the severe hepatopancreas damage as indicated by the substantially elevated activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. Moreover, OMW significantly lowered the lactate dehydrogenase activity and reduced lactic acid accumulation due to decreased oxidative stress, thereby preventing acidosis in crayfish. These findings demonstrated that OMW was a milder yet more effective approach to improve the well-being of living aquatic products, thus maintaining their vitality and quality prior to processing into foods, suggesting its great potential as a pretreatment technology for applications in the aquatic food industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":442,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics Sonochemistry","volume":"122 ","pages":"Article 107616"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145306655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
