Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/160408
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides a microfluidic device and method for performing operations on droplets. The device comprises a microfluidic channel with a side-channel and a barrier. A liquid droplet is introduced in the device and its movement is influenced by the position and dimension of the barrier and the side-channel.
