Read the editorial on our forthcoming tutorial series on acoustofluidics, reviewing the state of the art and to providing a point of entry for newcomers to this rapidly developing research field:
Acoustofluidics—exploiting ultrasonic standing wave forces and acoustic streaming in microfluidic systems for cell and particle manipulation
Henrik Bruus, Jurg Dual, Jeremy Hawkes, Martyn Hill, Thomas Laurell, Johan Nilsson, Stefan Radel, Satwindar Sadhal and Martin Wiklund
Jurgen Popp, University of Jena, and colleagues review the applications of droplet formation with flow-through microdevices in Raman and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
They look at the advantages of the techniques for highly-specific analytic detection and forward to the novel possibilities offered by future developments.
