MEMS MICROMIXER CELL

Microsonic Systems new patented Lateral Ultrasonic Thrust™ (LUT™) technology works by using a Micro-Electrical-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based transducer, which when excited with RF power generates ultrasonic waves. Since these waves have a very high level of lateral ultrasonic thrust, the coupling of them into a well causes a lateral mixing vortex. This lateral mixing vortex enables the user to rapidly and controllably mix their samples within a well. Additionally, the intensity of the motion created by our LUT technology is highly controllable. Therefore, lower power settings can be used for the gentle mixing required when dealing with cell based assays, and higher power can be utilized when increased velocity is needed for solubilization.
