Particle focusing in microfluidic devices (2010, methodology): “This SSAW-based focusing method was recently demonstrated by the same group to implement both a diverse patterning ( Shi et al. 2009a ) and a continuous separation (Shi et al. 2009b) of polymer beads and cells.”
Surface Acoustic Wave Microfluidics (2014, methodology): “(c) Longitudinal particle alignment and focusing using a transverse SSAW combined with a continuous laminar sheath flow within a microchannel bonded onto the substrate for possible downstream particle separation (Shi et al. 2008, 2009b, 2011).”
