    Abstract: The present invention includes a microfluidic filter and concentrator that can separate a filtrate from a fluid containing components, e.g. a suspension of particles, to be removed from the fluid at least to some extent. The filter may employ principals of tangential flow filtration, also known as cross-flow filtration. In one aspect, a microfluidic filter described herein includes at least a first, main channel and one or more secondary, filtering channels that connect to the main channel. Filtration occurs when a fluid portion of a sample that is flowed through the main channel enters one or more of the filtering channels and at least some of the components in the sample do not enter or do not flow through the secondary, filtering channels. The secondary channels may be dimensioned to inhibit flow of components through them, and/or a porous material such as a layer may be positioned to inhibit flow of components through the secondary channels.

A multiple emulsion generally describes a larger droplet that contains one or more smaller droplets therein which, in some cases, can contain even smaller droplets therein, etc. Multiple emulsions can be formed in certain embodiments with generally precise repeatability, and can be tailored to include any number of inner droplets, in any desired nesting arrangement, within a single outer droplet. In some cases, one (or more) of the fluids can be a gas. In addition, in some embodiments, the size of the multiple emulsion can be varied.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to microfluidics and, in particular, to microfluidic systems useful for determining reactions. In one aspect, two or more fluids are introduced into a microfluidic channel, and are allowed to come into contact. At or near the interface between the fluids, reactants contained within the fluids may react. By determining the reaction rate between the reactants with respect to position within the microfluidic channel, information about the reaction between the reactants can be obtained. The reaction rate may be determined, for instance, by measuring the rate of reaction at two or more points within the channel. In some cases, e.g., if the reaction rate can be determined optically or visually, the channel may be imaged and the image analyzed to determine the reaction rate. As a non-limiting example of a reaction, the reactants may be an enzyme and a substrate, and by determining reaction rates within the channel, Michaelis-Menten kinetics (or other reaction kinetics) of the enzymatic reaction may be determined. It should be understood, however, that other reactions besides Michaelis-Menten kinetics and/or enzymatic reactions may also be determined, including other catalytic or chemical reactions, and the like. The reaction profiles may be linear or non-linear, e.g., second order, third order, etc.

    Abstract: A mixing apparatus is used to effect mixing between one or more fluid streams. The mixing apparatus generally functions by creating a transverse flow component in the fluid flowing within a channel without the use of moving mixing elements. The transverse or helical flow component of the flowing fluid or fluids can be created by weak modulations of the shape of the walls of the channel. Transverse or helical flow component can be created by grooves features defined on the channel wall. Specifically, the present invention can be used in laminarly flowing fluids. The mixing apparatus and methods thereof can effect mixing of a fluid or fluids flowing with a Reynolds number of less than about 100. Thus, the present invention can be used to mix a fluid flowing in the micro-regime. The mixing apparatus can be used to mix a fluid in a microfluidic system to significantly reduce the Taylor dispersion along the principal direction. The mixing apparatus can be used to increase the effective exposed area to promote diffusion of components between or within the fluid or fluids.
