Operation of the microfluidic chip with different dimensions and fluids. a) CO₂ laser recipes used for the fabrication of the different microchannels. For the depth study, the length and width are fixed at 38 mm and ≈300 µm, respectively. For the length study, the depth and width are fixed at ≈470 and ≈300 µm, respectively. For the width study, the length and depth are fixed at 38 mm and ≈250 µm, respectively. b) Operation regions of the microfluidic chip with different dimensions and DI water. c) Operation regions of the microfluidic chip with 20% glycerol and 80% DI water. Response time of the OR Boolean function for different d) lengths, e) widths, f) depths of the microchannels. The flow rate is fixed at 300 µL min⁻¹ in the experiments.
