1. Synthetic gel particle formation for acoustofluidic applications
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Cancer cell detection by particle sorting systems is a very challenging field which could help to discover cancers at an earlier stage. Acoustophoresis used as a particle sorting system is based on the difference between the acoustic properties of particles and the medium. READ MORE

2. Thermal Acoustic Flow inside an Ultrasound Resonator
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : This thesis aims at investigating the interaction between thermal gradients and acoustic fields in microfluidic devices. In the research branch of Acoustofluidics, which bridges together acoustics and fluid dynamics, inhomogeneity in the medium has gained great interest due to the novel physics behind and the potential in manipulating submicrometer particles.

3. Improving cell secretome analysis and bacteria evolution by means of acoustophoresis
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : In both, cell secretome analysis and bacteria evolution, controlled handling of particles with a few to sub-micrometers in size and media exchange are inevitable in order to investigate body fluid’s proteins or change the surrounding culture conditions for pivoted evolution. Typically, nanofiltration and ultra-centrifugation are employed which can lead to cell damage, need large sample volumes and have a high sample loss. READ MORE

4. Optical communication with underwater snake robots : Design and implementation of an underwater wireless optical communication system
University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för elektronikkonstruktionAbstract : Eelume AS is a norwegian company that develops autonomous underwater vehicles. Their flagship model is an underwater snake robot that performs inspection, maintenance and repair operations. For the time being, Eelume has been using acoustic communications between their AUV's and the docking station, but it has a big drawback: bandwidth. READ MORE

5. Acoustophoretic manipulation of sub-micron particles
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Microchannel acoustophoresis is a technique which uses acoustically induced forces to translate particles in a microchannel. Its use in biological applications is increasing. Using acoustophoresis to precisely manipulate bioparticles such as yeast, blood cells and cancer cells gives the technique great potential. READ MORE
