From: A Rapid Capillary-Pressure Driven Micro-Channel to Demonstrate Newtonian Fluid Behavior of Zebrafish Blood at High Shear Rates

Figure 1

Capillary pressure-driven micro-channel. (A) Side view of the application of the fluid sample (beige color) into the inlet port. The sample was pipetted to the inlet of the channel. By virtue of the capillary force, the microfluidic device imbibed the fluid sample immediately. Velocity distribution u(y,t), channel height (h), contact angle (θ), and fluid traveling distance (L) are highlighted and labeled. (B) Top view of the microfluidic device, illustrating a blood sample being applied to the inlet port at the top left corner, and traveling through the micro-channel. The channel was bonded with Parylene-coated glass after oxygen plasma treatment.
