A 1 ml solution of 0.1% 10 um biotinylated polystyrene microspheres
was injected at 2 ml / min through a transparent chamber formed around
the well of a classical FPW device. A standing acoustic field in
chamber trapped a portion of these beads. Photos of these trapped
spheres taken with visible light are shown below. A 1 ml solution
of Alexa-Fluor 488 labeled streptavidin was perfused through the chamber
at 33 ul/min. Unconjugated streptavidin was purged from the chamber
with phosphate buffer. The streptavidin-biotin conjugate was detected
with a Zeiss Stereoscopic Epifluorescent Microscope. Fluorescent
images are given below.
