‘Ultrasonic particle manipulation in microchannels’ is a promising biomedical research field and such manipulations are attained through maintaining resonance conditions on lab-on-chip (LoC) devices. Physical and geometrical features of these chips are important design parameters, affecting acoustic and thermal performances, stability, cost of acoustofluidic separation unit, manufacturing technique, etc. Polymers are the most promising product level LoC materials, and this study focuses on them by successfully fabricating acoustofluidic chips by applying additive manufacturing techniques. Throughout this study, systematic chip architecture revisions enabling increase in rapidity and decrease in errors are presented with acoustic property acquisition studies conducted on 3D printed polymer mediums. All processes were centered around experimental applications.
