The development of truly versatile chips for analytical, synthetic and biological chemistry will require not only the understanding of the flow in networks, but also the development of modules for active control over the flow, merging, splitting and above all, formation of droplets. Below we review the field of active control over formation of droplets and provide an example of a microfluidic droplet-on-demand system.

In the fabrication of microfluidic structures for lab-on-a-chip applications, the integration of the fluidic, biological, and electronic modules in the same substrates must be assured. Additionally, those small and precise structures must guarantee the correct manipulation of micro- and nanoliter quantities of samples and reagents (Auroux et al., 2002 Kovarik and Jacobson, 2009). A fully automated system for fluids control (injection, transport, reaction, and measurement) is required for any...
