Additional information
One of the problems associated with microfluidics is the large size of the associated control systems often required to perform on-chip operations. In this paper we describe a simple microfluidic system for producing a droplet in response to the passage of a first droplet that relies purely on physical phenomena without any external apparatus. This potential has wide application for performing droplet-based reactions, for example studying the precipitation and dissolution of pharmaceuticals as they undergo pH changes in the gut.
