Abstract
A microfluidic device for mechanically splitting, in particular aided by enzymatic cleaving, of three-dimensional agglomerates to individual structures and/or agglomerate fragments is disclosed. The device has a first fluidic connection and a second fluidic connection and a first microfluidic channel which is located between the first and the second fluidic connection and which has at least one narrow portion in which three-dimensional agglomerates can be mechanically split by friction.
