Thermally mediated breakup of drops in microchannels. Applied Physics Letters, 89(23). | Journal: | Applied Physics Letters | Series/Report no.: | Applied physics letters | Abstract: | The authors used thermally induced surface tension gradients to manipulate aqueous droplets in microchannels. Control of the droplet breakup process was demonstrated. Droplet sorting can be achieved with temperatures above a critical value. Numerical simulation using a two-dimensional model agrees qualitatively well with the experimental results. The used control temperature of less than 55 °C shows that this active control concept is suitable for biochemical applications. Thermal control promises to be a simple and effective manipulation method for droplet-based lab on a chip. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/94199 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/7845 |
