  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF FLUIDIC AND MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20170121658
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved flow properties in fluidic and microfluidic systems are disclosed. The system includes a microfluidic device having a first microchannel, a fluid reservoir having a working fluid and a pressurized gas, a pump in communication with the fluid reservoir to maintain a desired pressure of the pressurized gas, and a fluid-resistance element located within a fluid path between the fluid reservoir and the first microchannel. The fluid-resistance element includes a first fluidic resistance that is substantially larger than a second fluidic resistance associated with the first microchannel.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 11, 2017
    Publication date: May 4, 2017
