N2 - In this research, we demonstrated that it is possible to use an acoustofluidic device having a cascade of staircase-like echo-channel to control the position of cells within a microfluidic channel. The main channel was divided into two parts by a thin wall, one is for cell manipulation and another is for eco-channel. The different width of the eco-channel along the main channel results in tuning of the nodal positions, meaning that the cell focusing region can be adjusted. As cells flow downstream, cells are focused to one side of the main channel, which allows cell position controlling in the free fluid flow condition.
