Drop on demand in a microfluidic chip (2008, methodology): “by viscous drag is also used in flow focusing devices [ 14 ], and is important to the in-chip drop on demand technique, because transporting a droplet from the shooting area of one nozzle to another will allow multistep reactions at frequencies of several Hertz.”
Effect of geometry on droplet formation in the squeezing regime in a microfluidic T-junction (2010, background): “Over the past few years, numerous experiments have highlighted the advances being made in the field of droplet generation using a variety of microfluidic devices, particularly using co-flowing fluids (Umbanhowar et al. 2000; Cramer et al. 2004), passing dissimilar fluids through an orifice ( Anna et”
