Driving Microfluidics with Powerful Ultrasound

Insights into Transducer Development at PI Ceramic

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.
