Abstract
A microfluidic valve-based trap enabling controlled capture, release, and temporary immobilization of droplets together with on-demand merging of selected droplets is presented in this paper. The microfluidic trap technology can merge droplets passively or in active manner via a pneumatically actuated membrane. A microchip is developed with two functional units of droplet generator and merging mechanism to implement the passive or active merging performance of the microfluidic valve-based trap using a low and high surfactant concentrated continuous oil-phase.Entities:
