Abstract: A microfluidic device for separating or sorting particles in a fluid including: a substrate; a plurality of interdigital transducers on the substrate; a microfluidic channel adapted to have fluid flow within, located over the interdigital transducers, the microfluidic channel having a width, wherein: the interdigital transducers are located within the width of the microfluidic channel; and application of a signal to the interdigital transducers produces a force field at an angle to the fluid flow direction within the microfluidic channel. In addition, a method for separating or sorting particles using a device having a plurality of interdigital transducers on a substrate and a microfluidic channel located over the interdigital transducers, the method including: positioning the interdigital transducers within the microfluidic channel width; inserting into the microfluidic channel a solution having particles with various properties; and applying a signal to the interdigital transducers to produce a force field at an angle to a fluid flow direction within the microfluidic channel to sort and/or physically separate the particles into groups of particles with the same property.
