Abstract

See full text

Fluid is flowed into an inlet channel of a microfluidic pathway at a flow rate, the microfluidic pathway including a first and second outlet channels fluidically connected to the inlet channel. A first cavitation bubble is created within the first outlet channel to block fluid flow out of the first outlet channel. A second cavitation bubble is created within the second outlet channel to block fluid flow out of the second outlet channel. Creation of the second cavitation bubble is initiated during or after the first cavitation bubble dissolves such that the flow rate is maintained.
