(a) Schematic of the acoustofluidic FACS device indicating the focusing region. The expanded image indicates the laser spot, IDT region, and sorting outlets. (b) Channel cross-section illustrating the SSAW sorting mechanism. Constructive interference of surface acoustic waves originating from both IDTs results in SSAW. Upon SSAW activation, cells/particles focused at channel middle position tend to move toward the pressure node, leading them into the target outlet.
