The present work is focused on discussing standing acoustic wave-based particles separation in PMMA microfluidic channel at tilted angle. A theoretical model is developed to describe the interaction of the particles at different sizes under an acoustic pressure with tilted angles. Tilted angle, acoustic pressure, acoustic wavelength, flow velocity and buffer solution viscosity are as key parameters to be investigated. It is demonstrated that these parameters can affect the particle motion in microfluidic channel, which play the important roles in particle separation. It’s shown the vital criteria of the microfluidic chip design for specific applications.
