Abstract: Microfluidic devices and methods thereof; the devices including: SNDA components; each SNDA component comprising: a primary channel; secondary channels; and nano-wells that are each open to the primary channel and are each connected via vents to the secondary channel; the vents are configured to enable passage of gas solely from the nano-wells to the secondary channel, such that when a fluid is introduced into the primary channel it fills the nano-wells, and the originally accommodated gas is evacuated via the vents and the secondary channel/s; a common inlet port, configured to enable a simultaneous introduction of the fluid into all the primary channels of the different SNDA components; individual inlet ports, configured to enable individual introduction of fluid, each into a different primary channel of a different SNDA component; and at least one outlet port, configured to enable evacuation of the gas out of all the secondary channels.

Abstract: A device comprising: plurality of Stationary Nanoliter Droplet Array (SNDA) components; each SNDA component comprising: at least one primary channel; at least one secondary channel; and a plurality of nano-wells that are each open to the primary channel and are each connected by one or more vents to the secondary channel; the vents are configured to enable passage of air solely from the nano-wells to the secondary channel, such that when a liquid is introduced into the primary channel it fills the nano-wells, and the originally accommodated air is evacuated via the vents and the secondary channel/s; an inlet port and a distribution channel configured to enable a simultaneous introduction of the liquid into all primary channels; and an outlet port and an evacuation channel configured to enable a simultaneous evacuation of the air out of all the secondary channels.
