More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a microfluidic circuit including at least one microchannel for the flow of a first fluid conveying drops or bubbles of at least one second fluid, characterized in that the height of the microchannel is sized so as to crush the drops or bubbles during the movement thereof, and in that the microchannel comprises at least one trough, extending at least partially in the direction of flow of the first fluid or an area for trapping drops or bubbles, said area or the trough having a height that is greater than the height of the microchannel, such that at least some of the drops or bubbles of the second fluid in the microchannel are drawn and guided into the trough or into the trapping area.
