Abstract
We examined the role of ultrasound standing waves, and their travelling wave counterparts, on cell viability in an in-vitro insonation apparatus. Furthermore, the effect of distinct waveforms (sine and top-hat) was also explored, together with the role of microbubble presence. Measurements of cell viability in standing wave scenarios demonstrated a relatively higher rate of lysis (63.13 +/- 10.89% remaining viable) compared with the travelling wave data, where 96.22 +/- 4.0% remained viable. Significant differences were also seen as a function of waveform, where insonations employing top-hat wave shapes resulted in an average end stage viability of 30.31 +/- 5.71 % compared with 61.94 +/- 14.28% in the sinusoidal counterparts.
