A surface acoustic wave-driven micropump for particle uptake investigation under physiological flow conditions in very small volumes

Static conditions represent an important shortcoming of many in vitro experiments on the cellular uptake of nanoparticles. Here, we present a versatile microfluidic device based on acoustic streaming induced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The device offers a convenient method for introducing flui...
