A Droplet Trapping Microfluidic Device for the Study of Mass-transport across Droplet Interface Bilayers
In this study, a novel effective droplet microfluidic platform for the generation, guiding and storage of different sized droplet interface bilayers is reported. A microfluidic platform is designed which allows the generation and packing of picoliter lipid coated aqueous droplets. Generated droplets are generated flattened by hydrodynamic focusing and sorted according to their size using surfac...
متن کاملMicrofluidic droplet-array liquid-liquid chromatography based on droplet trapping technique.
We describe the first realization of liquid chromatographic separation in a droplet-based microfluidic system and develop a novel mode for microchip-based chromatography named as droplet-array liquid-liquid chromatography. In this system, two arrays of picoliter-scale droplets immobilized on both sidewalls of a microchannel with droplet trapping technique served as the stationary phase in chrom...
متن کاملEvaluation of Recirculation Time in Bubble Train Flow by Using Direct Numerical Simulation
In this research, hydrodynamics of the Bubble Train Flows (BTF) in circular capillaries has been investigated by Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS).The Volume of Fluid Based (VOF) interface tracking method and streamwise direction periodic boundary conditions has been applied. The results show that there exists an appropriate agreement between DNS and experimental correlation results. The re...

متن کاملMonodispersed microfluidic droplet generation by shear focusing microfluidic device
A microfluidic device designed to generate monodispersed picoliter to femtoliter sized droplet emulsions at controlled rates is presented. This PDMS microfabricated device utilizes the geometry of the channel junctions in addition to the flow rates to control the droplet sizes. An expanding nozzle is used to control the breakup location of the droplet generation process. The droplet breakup occ...
