An example self-priming microfluidic structure can include a microfluidic channel including a floor and a ceiling. A channel height is defined as a distance between the floor and the ceiling. A channel height step can be in the floor, or ceiling, or both. The channel height downstream of the channel height step can be greater than the channel height upstream of the channel height step. An interior pillar can be positioned in the microfluidic channel extending from the floor to the ceiling. The interior pillar can include a widening portion at an upstream end of the interior pillar and a tapering portion at a downstream end of the interior pillar. The interior pillar can overlap the channel height step so that the interior pillar is partially upstream of the channel height step and partially downstream of the channel height step.
