| Abstract | Buoyancy-driven droplet generation on centrifugal microfluidic platforms rely on the rotation speed to inject a dispersed phase (water) against the centrifugal field into a stagnant continuous phase (oil) through a capillary nozzle. By adding pneumatic actuation to a centrifugal microfluidic platform we control the flow rate at the nozzle independently from the rotation speed by applying pressure on the dispersed phase. We demonstrate that for a given capillary nozzle, the size of the droplet can be fine-tuned through the angular rotation speed of the rotor and the applied pressure on the dispersed phase. |
