System and method for the generation of monodisperse microbubbles in co-flow configuration

摘要

The invention relates to a system (10) and method for generating monodisperse microbubbles in a co-flow configuration, in which the system (10) comprises: a co-flow device (1) comprising an inner fluid channel (2), and at least one outer fluid channel (3), in which the outer fluid channel (3) has a co-flow configuration in respect of the inner fluid channel (2), and said outer fluid channel (3) substantially surrounds the inner fluid channel (2); and a force means (14) connected to the inner fluid channel (2) or to the outer fluid channel (3) of the co-flow device (1), said force means (14) being configured to produce a periodic variation, around the mean, in the flow rate of fluid flowing through either the inner (2) or outer (3) channel.
