Abstract
A simple and low-cost strategy to generate and control internal flows in a sessile droplet for particle and cell agglomeration in droplets is presented. The agglomeration is achieved by structured internal flows within the sessile droplet driven by an oscillating rigid substrate under certain vibration modes. In this work, oscillation of the substrate is experimentally measured, and its corresponding flow patterns are documented. The particles or cells in the sessile droplet are subsequently tracked using the different flow patterns with different flow intensities. The agglomeration capabilities and their dependence on flow characteristics are experimentally verified.
