In recent year, aggregations of cells and other small objects are in great demand in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Previously, Faraday waves generated on the water surface by applying constant vertical vibration to a chamber filled with liquid have been used to aggregate micro-objects into patterns. However, the phenomenon has not been confirmed or analyzed by applying horizontal vibration. In this paper, we confirmed whether it is possible to generate patterns by applying horizontal vibration to a chamber filled with liquid and conducted pattern generation experiments using chambers of various shapes. In addition, we conducted pattern generation experiments using living cells.
