We introduce a microfluidic device that uses traveling surface acoustic waves to lyse bacteria with high efficiency. This lysis method should be applicable to a wide range of bacteria species and can be modified to analyze individual bacteria cells.

Considerable and continuing interest has been shown in the thin film transducer fabrication for surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the past few years. Due to the high degree of miniaturization, compatibility with silicon integrated circuit technology, simplicity and ease of design, this new technology has played an important role in the design of new devices for communications and signal processing. Among the commonly used piezoelectric thin films, ZnO generally yields superior electromechanical properties and is expected to play a leading role in the development of SAW devices.
