A. Flow pattern in a laminar flow patterning channel with unsynchronized pressures (left) and synchronized pressures (right). B. Schematic of the proposed synchronization method. A fluidic capacitor links the two sample loading ports of the Y-channel. The capacitor acts as a temporary destination for loaded fluid and balances the pressure applied to each branch for laminar flow patterning.
