fluidicjet
Fluidicjet is a term used in microfluidics and jetting technologies to describe systems that generate and control a fluid jet using fluidic circuits rather than mechanical moving parts. In these systems, fluid flow is directed by pressure, channel geometries, and fluidic components such as valves, junctions, and nozzles fabricated in materials like glass, silicon, or polymers. Actuation can be pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrohydrodynamic, enabling rapid changes in flow without motors.
The jet can be formed as a continuous stream or as discrete droplets, depending on nozzle design
Applications include lab-on-a-chip systems for chemical synthesis and biological assays, droplet-based microfluidics for single-cell analysis, high-throughput
Advantages of fluidicjet approaches include the absence of rotating or vibrating components, potential for compact integration
