Microfluidics
Emulsification processes – Techniques and equipment

Microsystems are continuously operating devices in which small dimensions (typical channel diameter between 10 µm and 2-3 mm) will induce particular performances, such as better control of fluid transport phenomena [IN 94] . In this type of system, the flow regime is laminar. The two phases are usually brought into contact either by co-axial injection (figure 14 a), or by joining the two feed channels in a T (figure
