Contributor Dekker, R. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department BioMechanical Engineering Programme ECTM-EWI Date 2015-06-08 Abstract The goals of this graduation project are to introduce and prove the concept of an Acoustically Induced Microenvironment (AIM), and feature the application of Capacitive Micro machined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUTs) in microfluidics. AIMs are conceived as a series of building blocks for more complex systems where the driving technology is reconfigurable without major hardware changes and easily embedded with current CMOS and Microfluidic technologies. In the biological context, the development of organ models such as a Liver on a Chip for Drug Screening is a leading example. A proof of principle is delivered for AIMs that perform operations of mixing, stirring, sorting, gradient tuning, that can be implemented for microfluidic operations.
