Acoustic Manipulation of Single Cells via Enclosed Microbubbles
Precise handling of single cells is of fundamental importance for modern genetics and disease research.
The goal of the project is the characterization and improvement of a non-invasive acoustically-activated system for the manipulation of cells and microparticles.
Precise handling of single cells is of fundamental importance for modern genetics and disease research.
In this project, the student will use acoustically-excited thin-wall structures for the generation of microfluidic vortices, which subsequently allow the controlled manipulation of micro-objects. The influence of different geometries onto the manipulation capabilities as well as their use for additional lab-on-chip applications will be experimentally investigated and statistically evaluated.
