This project focuses on the study of the reliable merging of plugs at the junction using 200µm (width) by 100µm (height) PDMS micro-channels. The micro-channels are fabricated using soft lithography. The carrier phase used is mineral oil (Sigma M5904) with 2% w/w Span 80 surfactant (Sigma s6760). Th...
