METHODS AND DEVICES TO CONTROL FLUID VOLUMES, REAGENT AND PARTICLE CONCENTRATION IN ARRAYS OF MICROFLUIDIC DROPS

摘要

The present invention includes a microfluidic device comprising one or more parking loops 12, each parking loop 12 comprising a bypass channel 14 and a lower branch 16 capable of retaining one or more drops, wherein bypass channel 14 has a smaller hydrodynamic resistance than the lower branch 16.
