Incubation systems

References	Characteristics
99	Microwave dielectric heating with indium alloy wire inserted into the PDMS chip
17	Long serpentine channel (144 µL)
100	“Picotiter array” using parallel channels, to monitor the growth rate of single cells
101	Immobilization in local storage areas
102	Immobilization in array, with capture rates above 90%. Reversion of flow allows droplets release
103	Large pillars-supported storage reservoir localized in the end of the device
24	External incubation, collecting droplets with a Pasteur pipette, and reloading them with a syringe
52	Delay lines made of elongated channels under reduced flow
