More Information
Summary:Described herein are microreactors and methods of modifying support particles using acoustic standing waves. A liquid medium containing suspended support particles is flowed along a flow path through a channel, and an acoustic standing wave is applied to the channel to hold the suspended particles at a point in the channel. The held particles are then subjected to one or more reactions by flowing biochemical reactants through the channel. Unbound biological reactant is optionally washed from the channel. The reacted support particles can be released from the acoustic standing wave for further processing using, for example, flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy.
