Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures for acoustic wave-based separation of particulates in a fluidic flow. Illustrative systems, methods, and structures according to aspects of the present disclosure may advantageously provide for the continuous, label-free, non-invasive separation of the particulates that include—among other types—difficult-to-separate biological particulates and in particular those in blood including circulating tumor cells and micro-blood-borne particles and other subgroups of extracellular vesicles including nanoscale exosomes.
