چکیده
Despite the importance of droplet monodispersity, a universal methodology for high monodispersity generation does not exist yet. We have recently demonstrated that unlike conventional method generation, applying an identical pressure from single source makes microfluidic system immune to external fluctuations originate imperfection flow source. In this work, we show our is and applicable other common devices sources. applied flow-focusing coflow are commonly used high-frequency microdroplet generation. addition pump, syringe pump rate controllable systems as well. compared droplets formed by methods novel explained in work.

متن کاملA programmable microfluidic static droplet array for droplet generation, transportation, fusion, storage, and retrieval.
We present a programmable microfluidic static droplet array (SDA) device that can perform user-defined multistep combinatorial protocols. It combines the passive storage of aqueous droplets without any external control with integrated microvalves for discrete sample dispensing and dispersion-free unit operation. The addressable picoliter-volume reaction is systematically achieved by consecutive...
