Acoustic Levitation

It is known that growth and differentiation of 3D retinal organoids can be influenced and modulated by biochemical signals and biophysical factors and fluid mechanics. To overcome diffusion limited delivery of nutrients and oxygen, we are building a device that uses the effect of external physical field to potentially influence the differentiation and growth of retinal organoids. We want to influence the aggregation process of retinal organoids by controllable convective flow fields.
