摘要: A microfluidic droplet-handling architecture for the synchronization of asynchronous, mis-matched, pre-formed droplet streams is demonstrated. This shown to be robust variations in input frequencies, whilst still producing highly reliable synchronisation. The operational phase space with regards size disparity explored and long-term stability system confirmed. Specifically, platform synchronies at a rate 33 Hz over extended periods time an error less than 0.2%.
