Abstract
In this paper an acoustofluidic system to trap hydrogel droplets is shown. The presented trapping method is label-free, biocompatible and operated in non-contact mode. The results show that the droplets can be trapped at flow rates up to 76 μL/min which corresponds to an average flow speed of 3.2 mm/s. Moreover, it is shown that the droplets can be trapped for several hours, thus allowing for studies of the encapsulated cells over time. An application of the system is shown by performing on-chip cell nuclei staining.
