A physical model of droplet flow was established to study the flow characteristics of the W/O droplet in the spiral microchannel driven by centrifugal force, and kinematic analysis was performed based on the rigid body assumption. Then, the theoretical formula of droplet flow rate was obtained. ...
2.5. Fluid Actuation: Challenges, and Recommendations for the Extreme POC Actuation of fluid by centrifugal force is at the core of CD microfluidics at the extreme POC. This method of actuation fits well in these applications because of the lack of need for extraneous equipment, power supplies,...
