The Discovery of Acoustic Focusing & Attune Flow Cytometer

This video explains and illustrates how the discovery of sound measurement lead to a series of discoveries culminating in the knowledge needed to use sound in particle focusing.

The Attune Acoustic Focusing Flow Cytometer, pictured to the left is the first cytometer that uses ultrasonic waves (over 2 MHz, similar to those used in medical imaging), rather than hydrodynamic forces, to position cells into a single, focused line along the central axis of a capillary.
