摘要: Controlling droplet incubation is critical for droplet-based microfluidic applications; however, current techniques are either of limited precision or place strict limits on the times that can be achieved. Here, we present a simple technique to control time by exploiting close-packed plug flow. In contrast other techniques, this applicable very short and long times.
