摘要 | In microfluidic systems, it is important to maintain flow stability to execute various functions, such as chemical reactions, cell transportation, and liquid injection. However, traditional flow sources, often bulky and prone to unpredictable fluctuations, limit the portability and broader application of these systems. Existing fluidic stabilizers, typically designed for specific flow sources, lack reconfigurability and adaptability in terms of the stabilization ratios. To address these limitations, a modular and standardized stabilizer system with tunable stabilization ratios is required. In this work, we present a Lego-like modular microfluidic stabilizer system, which is fabricated using 3D printing and offers multi-level stabilization combinations and customizable stabilization ratios through the control of fluidic RC constants, making it adaptable to various microfluidic systems. A simplified three-element circuit model is used to characterize the system by straightforwardly extracting the RC constant without intricate calculations of the fluidic resistance and capacitance. By utilizing a simplified three-element model, the stabilizer yields two well-fitted operational curves, demonstrating an R-square of 0.95, and provides an optimal stabilization ratio below 1%. To evaluate the system’s effectiveness, unstable input flow at different working frequencies is stabilized, and droplet generation experiments are conducted and discussed. The results show that the microfluidic stabilizer system significantly reduces flow fluctuations and enhances droplet uniformity. This system provides a new avenue for microfluidic stabilization with a tunable stabilization ratio, and its plug-and-play design can be effectively applied across diverse applications to finely tune fluid flow behaviors in microfluidic devices. © 2024 by the authors. |
