Abstract (EN)

The use of micro-chips in cell and particle analysis is increasing due to some advantages. In this study, two micro-chip mold that can be used two different types of piezo-electric materials (PZT) on a single polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip by acoustophoresis are designed and fabricated. The PZTs properties are compared by changing the positions of four different PZTs and the piezo-electrical and particle separation experiments are conducted in conjunction with simulations. In the experiments, 5 μm and 15 μm polystyrene particles are used. Micro-chips are optimized in the direction of simulation results using different parameters have been found to be successful in particle separation.
