In vitro flow system to measure changes in dissolved oxygen (DO) in a fluid during ADV. PFP droplets diluted in air-saturated PBS were infused into the flow system and insonified by the 2 MHz transducer with an aperture of 6.3 cm and a focal distance of 6.4 cm. DO sensors placed upstream and downstream of the insonation were used to quantify changes in DO of the fluid during ADV. The imaging array was used to confirm the formation of microbubbles during ADV. The effluent collected from the flow system was used to quantify the size distribution of droplets in the absence and presence of ultrasound exposure.
