由微流体装置中的油和水混合物产生的液滴已经变得流行，用于产生用于生物化学测定的纳米体积容器。作者报告了一种微流体技术，该技术可以在静态（非流动）条件下在微流体通道中产生纳米体积的液滴。该技术利用界面表面张力和通道的几何形状在固定位置产生预定尺寸的水性液滴。这导致在微流体系统中以不强烈依赖于流速或粘度的方式在编程位置处产生小液滴的方法。(c)2006年，美国物理学会。
Droplets generated by oil and water mixtures in microfluidic devices have become popular for generating nanovolume vessels for biochemical assays. The authors report a microfluidic technology that can create nanovolume droplets in a microfluidic channel under static (nonflow) conditions. The technique exploits interfacial surface tension and geometry of the channels to generate aqueous droplets of predetermined size at fixed locations. This results in a method of generating small drops in a microfluidic system at programed locations in a manner that is not strongly dependent on flow rate or viscosity.
