Abstract

See full text

A method of generating droplets of a dispersed phase fluid in a continuous phase fluid includes flowing the dispersed phase fluid and the continuous phase fluid to a channel junction of at least one dispersed phase channel and at least one continuous phase channel, applying at least one alternating voltage to at least two electrodes so that an alternating electric field is created at the channel junction, and generating the droplets of the dispersed phase fluid in the continuous phase fluid flowing in an output channel of the channel junction, wherein the dispersed phase fluid and the continuous phase fluid are electrically insulated from the at least two electrodes. Furthermore, a microfluidic device is described, which is configured for generating droplets of a dispersed phase fluid in a continuous phase fluid.
