Abstract
A method for manipulating a first liquid within a device including fabricated microstructures for transporting the first liquid through a system of capillary channels and cavities with a closed configuration. The method including transporting the first liquid through the system by capillary force only, stopping a flow of the first liquid temporarily at a capillary stop, switching on the flow of the first liquid after a desired stop time is elapsed, adjusting the stop time of the first liquid by a length and a cross-section of the control capillary between a beginning of the control capillary and its end at the capillary stop, metering the first liquid to be manipulated, and holding a metered amount of the first liquid during the stop time within a cavity.
