Ultrasonic transducers based on piezo technology, are important tools in active microfluidics for in vitro diagnostics (IVD). Ultrasonic waves are used to mix the fluids to be examined in a defined manner, to lyse blood cells, or to align, move, or sort individual cells and particles in a defined manner using so-called acoustic tweezers in cytometry. To support customers in these future-oriented applications, PI Ceramic has developed a Langevin transducer.

Generating Ultrasonic Oscillation with Battery Power
The post explains, why this particular combination of resonant operation and low voltage is so special. Generating ultrasonic oscillation from battery power is useful for mobile measuring devices or medical devices. Atomizers for asthma therapy or so-called ultrasonic scalpels in eye surgery are good examples of this.
