Abstract

We present a microfluidic platform that is capable of controlled diamagnetic droplet displacement. In this method, monodisperse aqueous droplets are produced in a continuous phase of hydrophobic ferrofluid. Both phases are exposed to magnetic field. Precise deflection of the aqueous droplets is then achieved in a single step by adjusting the flowrate of the disperse phase.
