Zusammenfassung:	A microfluidic device and a method for flow control of cells or particles in a microfluidic channel are disclosed. The microfluidic device may include a substrate having an outlet channel. The microfluidic device may also include a microfluidic channel arranged on the substrate such that an outlet of the microfluidic channel is positioned above the outlet channel. The microfluidic device may further include a set of piezoelectric actuators arranged above the outlet channel and adjacent to the outlet, the set of piezoelectric actuators configured to eject a portion of a fluid out of the microfluidic channel via the outlet.
