Article Synopsis
- 3D biological systems are becoming preferred over 2D systems for more accurate cellular studies, and microfluidics can enhance these biomimetic systems but often come with high complexity and cost.
- The proposed drug screening platform simplifies the process of spheroid generation in droplets, allowing for efficient chemotherapy and cytotoxicity testing through programmable merging events.
- This system requires fewer initial cells (up to 10 times less) than traditional microtiter plates and demonstrates potential for advanced drug screening in cancer research, including patient-derived xenografts (PDX).
Acoustofluidics is acknowledged as a powerful tool offering a contactless and label-free manipulation of fluids, micro-beads, and living cells. To date, most techniques rely on the use of propagating acoustic waves and take advantage of the associated acoustic radiation force in standing or progressive fields. Here, we present a new approach based on the generation of an evanescent acoustic field above a substrate.
