Abstract
AbstractThis chapter presents methods for two-dimensional manipulation of droplets in microchannels. These manipulations allow a wide range of operations to be performed, such as arraying drops in two-dimensions, selecting particular drops from an array, or inducing chemical reactions on demand. The use of the two-dimensional format, by removing the influence of the channel side walls, reduces the interactions between droplets and thus simplifies droplet operations, while making them more robust. Finally, the chapter presents further developments on droplet microfluidics without a mean flow of the outer phase.KeywordsCarrier PhaseCapillary NumberPressure JumpSingle DropAnchor SiteThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
