dc.description.abstract | We present a numerical and experimental study
on a non-planar three-dimensional design of a microfluidic
flow-focusing device for the well-controlled generation of
monodisperse micron-sized droplets. Three relevant geometric
parameters were identified: the distance between
the inner inlet channel and the outlet channel, the width of
the outlet channel, and its length. Simulation data extracted
from a full parameter study and finite element simulations
yielded four optimum designs that were then fabricated
using soft lithography techniques. Under the predicted
operating conditions, micro-droplets of a size of ~1μm in
diameter are obtained from a channel 50 μm in width. This
work represents an important breakthrough in the practical
use of flow-focusing devices delivering a ratio of constriction
to droplet size of 50 times, with the advantage of
reduced clogging of the micro-channel, greatly improving
the control and reliability of the device. | es |
