More Information
Summary:A microfluidic device includes a chamber having sidewalls, a floor, a ceiling, and an inlet. The microfluidic device includes pillars extending from the floor to the ceiling of the chamber. Each pillar has an orientation relative to the inlet defined by a leading surface and a trailing corner opposite the leading corner. The trailing corner has an angle less than a threshold angle that is based on a fluidic contact angle. The orientations of the pillars relative to the inlet promote fluid flow from the inlet throughout the chamber without trapping gas at the sidewalls of the chamber.
