According to a team of researchers, a technique that uses acoustic waves to sort cells on a chip may help create miniature medical analytic devices and lead to cell phone-sized medical labs. The device uses two beams of acoustic-or sound-waves to act as acoustic tweezers and sort a continuous flow of cells on a dime-sized chip, said Tony Jun Huang, associate professor of engineering science and mechanics, Penn State.

'Lab on a Chip' Devices Brought Closer to Reality By Acoustic Cell-sorting Technique
