MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE AND METHODS FOR DROPLET GENERATION AND MANIPULATION

摘要

Methods and microfluidic devices for generating and manipulating sample droplets, wherein the devices comprise, a plurality of fluid channels, at least one of which is a sample channel for carrying a fluidic sample material, that is in fluid communication with the carrier fluid channel via an orifice; and an actuated flow interrupter adapted to force a predetermined amount of the sample fluid from the sample channel through the orifice into the carrier fluid channel.
