    摘要: A multi-port liquid bridge (1) adds aqueous phase droplets (10) in an enveloping oil phase carrier liquid (11) to a draft channel (4, 6). A chamber (3) links four ports, and it is permanently full of oil (11) when in use. Oil phase is fed in a draft flow from an inlet port (4) and exits through a draft exit port (6) and a compensating flow port (7). The oil carrier and the sample droplets (3) (“aqueous phase”) flow through the inlet port (5) with an equivalent fluid flow subtracted through the compensating port (7). The ports of the bridge (1) are formed by the ends of capillaries held in position in plastics housings. The phases are density matched to create an environment where gravitational forces are negligible. This results in droplets (10) adopting spherical forms when suspended from capillary tube tips. Furthermore, the equality of mass flow is equal to the equality of volume flow. The phase of the inlet flow (from the droplet inlet port (5) and the draft inlet port (4) is used to determine the outlet port (6) flow phase.

    摘要: The invention pertains to reaction systems in which at least one capillary unit is applied. The capillary unit comprises: —a unit inlet for receiving a fluid flow, —a unit outlet for releasing said fluid flow, —a capillary, which capillary is arranged between the unit inlet and the unit outlet such that said fluid flow passes through the capillary, —a heater and/or a cooler for adjusting the temperature of the capillary and therewith influencing the flow rate of the fluid flow passing through said capillary, —a housing for accommodating at least the capillary and heater and/or cooler of said capillary unit, which housing provides thermal insulation of the capillary, —a flow sensor for measuring the flow rate of the fluid flow through the capillary unit, which flow sensor can be arranged either inside or outside the housing, A capillary unit is combined with or further has a flow adjustment unit for adjusting the flow rates of the secondary fluid flows, which flow adjustment unit comprises a temperature control device for individually controlling the heater and/or cooler of each capillary unit in response to the flow rate that is measured by the flow sensor of that capillary unit.
