1. A method for manipulating a moiety in a microfluidic application, which method comprises:

  • a) coupling a moiety to be manipulated onto a surface of a binding partner of said moiety to form a moiety-binding partner complex; and

    b) manipulating said moiety-binding partner complex with a physical force in a microfluidic application chip format, wherein said manipulation is effected through a combination of a signal source that is external to said chip and a structure that is built into or on said chip, thereby said moiety is manipulated, and wherein said moiety is not directly manipulatable by an acoustic force and the moiety-binding partner complex is manipulated by an acoustic force.
