Abstract
We demonstrate a technique to recirculate liquids in a microfluidic device, maintaining a thin fluid layer such that typical diffusion times for analytes to reach the device surface are < 1 min. Fluids can be recirculated at least 1000 times across the same surface region, with no change other than slight evaporation, by alternating the predominance of centrifugal and capillary forces. Mounted on a rotational platform, the device consists of two hydrophilic layers separated by a thin pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) layer that defines the microfluidic structure. We demonstrate rapid, effective fluid mixing with this device.
