Abstract

We present a parallel microfluidic array device for sample preparation for droplet arrays using the hydrodynamics of two immiscible fluids. The parallel microfluidic array device was fabricated by conventional photolithography and PDMS casting. The microfluidic device has eight parallel channels from the inlet to the outlet to increase performance of the device. Each channel has thirteen microchambers for trapping of samples. The a parallel microfluidic array device was estimated in efficiency of sample trapping, diameter of trapped sample in microchambers. Furthermore, we tried to extend the number of microchambers from 104 to 1600 to maximize the performance of trapping. We also demonstrate that the presented device can be used in cell culture and particle trapping.
