Enabling Droplet Functionality on Anisotropic Ratchet Conveyors

Enabling Droplet Functionality on Anisotropic Ratchet Conveyors

Anisotropic ratchet conveyors (ARCs) are a recently developed microfluidic platform that transports liquid droplets through a passive, microfabricated surface pattern and applied orthogonal vibrations. In this work, three new functionalities are presented for controlling droplet transport on the ARC...
