Abstract
Chemical reactions constitute a cornerstone of fundamental scientific inquiry, yet traditional methodologies and platforms are encumbered by excessive reagent and consumable demands. Emerging alternatives, such as microfluidic systems, while innovative, suffer from intricate fabrication processes and elevated costs associated with operator training. Other contemporary approaches face limitations including reagent compatibility constraints and prohibitively expensive instrumentation. To address these challenges, this study introduces a contactless chemical reaction platform leveraging an ultrasonic vortex field to achieve stable capture, microscale droplet transport, and sequential multi-droplet mixing without direct contact. This platform substantially reduces contamination risks, minimizes reagent and consumable usage, accommodates a broad spectrum of reagent types, and imposes minimal demands on operator expertise. Demonstrating robust performance in microdose reaction control, the system offers significant potential for advancing chemical research and its applications.
