The use of acoustic streaming as a noncontact mixing platform to accelerate mass-transport-limited diffusion processes in small-volume heterogeneous reactions has been investigated. Single-bead anion exchange of plutonium at nanomolar and subpicomolar concentrations in 20 microL liquid volumes was used to demonstrate the effect of acoustic mixing. Pu uptake rates on individual approximately 760 microm diameter AG 1 x 4 anion-exchange resin beads were determined using acoustic mixing and compared with Pu uptake rates achieved by static diffusion alone. An 82 MHz surface acoustic wave (SAW) device was placed in contact with the underside of a 384-well microplate containing flat-bottomed semiconical wells. Acoustic energy was coupled into the solution in the well, inducing acoustic streaming. Pu uptake rates were determined by the plutonium remaining in solution after specific elapsed time intervals using liquid scintillation counting (LSC) for nanomolar concentrations and thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) analysis for the subpicomolar concentration experiments. It was found that this small batch uptake reaction could be accelerated by a factor of about 5-fold or more, depending on the acoustic power applied.
