    Abstract

    We present a microfluidic acoustophoretic separator capable of unprecedented high throughput (about 1 L/h for a whole blood sample), approximately hundred times higher than previously reported. The high throughput along the x direction in the broad and shallow channel is facilitated by a large width (17 mm) in the y direction and a standing ultrasound wave in the shallow (830 μm) z direction. The necessary high acoustic power is obtained by running the attached piezo transducer at 55 V while keeping it cooled with a Peltier element. The device is fabricated using low-cost rapid-prototyping techniques, facilitating easy and versatile application.
