1. A microfluidic system, comprising:
a substrate;
a dispersion phase fluidic channel formed in the substrate;
a continuous phase fluidic channel formed in the substrate and in fluid communication with the dispersion phase fluidic channel through an aperture in a channel wall therebetween;
an interdigital transducer (IDT) in contact with the substrate and configured to generate a surface acoustic wave to inject fluid from the dispersion phase fluidic channel into the continuous phase fluidic channel through the aperture,
wherein a channel height of the dispersion phase fluidic channel is less than a channel height of the continuous phase fluidic channel, and
wherein actuation of the IDT encapsulates and shifts a location of a particle from the dispersion phase fluidic channel to the continuous phase fluidic channel.
