Figure 7

Example of the wide FocuScan output (chip S5). The plot shows the normalized particle bandwidth (NPB) vs actuation frequency. The NPB is close to 1 when particles occupy the whole width of the microchannel. (a) When particles are acoustically focused, the NPB gets smaller. (b) The minimum of the FocuScan indicates the best working frequency. White dashed lines indicate the channel boundary.
