This project is focused on designing and fabricating a microfluidic system that integrates multiple pre-fabricated microfluidic droplet generators. The system comprises a casing housing several pre-fabricated microfluidic droplet generators and an external fluid control system, enabling the adjustment of flow rates for individual fluid channels to each of the microfluidic droplet generators. Once completed, this microfluidic system will empower users to precisely control and adjust the flow rates of multiple fluid streams into the microfluidic system, facilitating the parallel generation of monodispersed droplets or particles.

About

Our mission is to help bring the real-world into the classroom by providing engineering students with practical hands-on experience through industry-sponsored and client-based capstone design projects. Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
