Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We present the construction and operation of a microfluidic nozzle created using several standard fluidic parts available commercially. By elegantly combining several pieces from a standard assembly, a capillary and a few other standard parts, we were able to develop a novel device. Using this device, precise axisymmetric flow focusing of particles was achieved and observed at the exit of the nozzle and within a connected microfluidic device several centimetres away. Sheath and core flow rates were varied to show influence and control over the width of the focused particles.
