Publication number: 20230302420Abstract: Parallel uses of microfluidic methods and devices for focusing and/or forming discontinuous sections of similar or dissimilar size in a fluid are described. In some aspects, the present invention relates generally to flow-focusing-type technology, and also to microfluidics, and more particularly parallel use of microfluidic systems arranged to control a dispersed phase within a dispersant, and the size, and size distribution, of a dispersed phase in a multi-phase fluid system, and systems for delivery of fluid components to multiple such devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: David A. Weitz, Mark Romanowsky, Adam R. Abate

Publication number: 20120199226Abstract: The present invention generally relates to emulsions, and more particularly, to multiple emulsions. In one aspect, multiple emulsions are formed using a plurality of channels, such as microfluidic channels, that meet at a common intersection. The multiple emulsions may be created at a single common intersection in some embodiments, unlike other prior art systems where multiple channel intersections are required to create multiple emulsions. For instance, in one set of embodiments, three, four, or more microfluidic channels may intersect at a common intersection, with two or three serving as inlets and one serving as the outlet. In some embodiments, a first fluidic channel may be relatively hydrophobic, while a second fluidic channel is relatively hydrophilic. The third channel, if present, may be relatively hydrophilic or hydrophobic, depending on the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2010Publication date: August 9, 2012Applicants: BASF SE, President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: David A.
