A microfluidic device for visualisation of milk fat globule alignment by the acoustic radiation force - A high particle concentration case

A microfluidic device to study the dynamics and magnitude of the acoustic radiation force applied to milk fat globules (MFGs) is presented. Visual information at high resolution is provided by microscopy. This microscale system provides valuable feedback to the mechanistic description of batch-sized fat separation systems which today enable milk fat separation on litre-scale.
