Abstract

An apparatus, including at least one piezoelectric chip having a working surface, and an opposing at least substantially parallel transducer surface; and at least one interdigital transducer applied to the transducer surface of the chip for generating acoustic energy within the chip in response to an application of an electrical signal to the interdigital transducer; wherein the working surface of the chip is, when in use, in contact with a fluid receptacle to thereby acoustically actuate fluid accommodated within said fluid receptacle, the chip being directly in contact with the receptacle or in contact with a fluid coupling medium that is in contact with the receptacle.
