Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Parallel uses of microfluidic methods and devices for focusing and/or forming discontinuous sections of similar or dissimilar size in a fluid are described. In some aspects, the present invention relates generally to flow-focusing-type technology, and also to microfluidics, and more particularly parallel use of microfluidic systems arranged to control a dispersed phase within a dispersant, and the size, and size distribution, of a dispersed phase in a multi-phase fluid system, and systems for delivery of fluid components to multiple such devices.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for forming droplets in microfluidic channels in parallel, comprising: a distribution channel having an inlet fluidly connected to a plurality of microfluidic subject fluid outlets arranged parallel to each other, each outlet defining a portion of a microfluidic interconnected region in fluid communication with at least one dispersing fluid channel fluidly connected to a source of a dispersing fluid; and at least one intermediate fluid channel flu…
