Microfluidic device

A microfluidic apparatus for providing one or more substance liquids to a microfluidic channel network, the microfluidic apparatus comprising the microfluidic channel network, at least one first substance liquid inlet, a second substance liquid inlet, at least one first inlet valve, a second inlet valve, and at least one input device for continuously applying a substantially constant pressure or a substantially continuous flow to the at least one first substance liquid at the at least one first substance liquid inlet,

• wherein the microfluidic channel network comprises a substance liquid combining area, the substance liquid combining area being connected to a droplet generation junction, and wherein the at least one first inlet valve is switchable between a first position, in which a liquid connection from the at least one first substance liquid inlet to the substance liquid combining area-is open, and a second position, in which the liquid connection from the at least one first substance liquid inlet to substance liquid combining area-is closed,
• wherein the second inlet valve is switchable between a first position in which a liquid connection from the second substance liquid inlet to the substance liquid combing area microfluidic channel network is open, and a second position, in which the liquid connection from the second substance liquid inlet to substance liquid combining area the microfluidic channel network is closed.
