Abstract
A microfluidic device includes a device body defining a microfluidic pathway including a first channel, a second channel downstream of the first channel, and a junction including a transition between the first channel and the second channel. The transition is configured to inhibit fluid entering the transition from the first channel from forming a meniscus across the second channel, thereby inhibiting capillary-driven flow into the second channel.…
