Abstract
The chapter starts with a brief overview of microfluidic bioparticle manipulation methods with a unifying approach for forces generated on bioparticles using different physical fields such as electrical, magnetic and acoustic fields. Later, the advantages and disadvantages of the ultrasonic bioparticle manipulation methods are discussed and the method's fundamental architectural components and theoretical background are explained. The chapter continues with different analytical approaches used for the numerical modeling of such systems. An extensive literature survey is provided detailing the method's applications on biological systems. The chapter concludes with discussions and recommendations for the successful commercialization of ultrasonic bioparticle manipulation methods.
