Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A microfluidic device contains a first layer having a plurality of channels, a second layer having a plurality of droplet makers, and a third layer having a plurality of through-holes connecting the plurality of channels to the plurality of droplet makers. The channels have a height of at least 4 times greater than the height of the droplet makers. The microfluidic device has at least 500 droplet makers in an area less than 10 cm2. The channels are formed by direct laser-micromachining and the droplet makers are formed by soft lithography molding.
