Abstract

We present the fabrication and performance characterization of a thiolene-based electrosonic ejector microarray for biomolecule delivery. The piezoelectrically-actuated device utilizes resonant operation and acoustic wave focusing by horn structures to create a localized microenvironment, which enables precise control of the bioeffects experienced by treated cells. The simple fabrication process not only yields a microarray that is essentially disposable, but it also allows for greater flexibility in the design of the wave focusing horns.
