Abstract
A microfluidic routing device for routing objects of interest in a microfluidic flow includes a substrate; a first layer provided on the substrate, in which the first layer forms a bottom wall of a microfluidic channel. At least two holes through the first layer form respectively an inlet and an outlet for the microfluidic channel The microfluidic routing device further includes a second layer spaced away from the first layer, in which the second layer forms a top wall of the microfluidic channel. The second layer is configured to transmit an optical signal from the microfluidic channel. The microfluidic routing device includes an actuator for actuating the objects of interest in a sorting junction of the microfluidic channel.
