“…Pixel intensity (a.u.) at a specified point in the resulting image must now be converted into a concentration, and this is usually achieved using a direct calibration done, for example, by measuring intensities of a dilution series of the fluorescein 31 . However, as bounding fluid walls/ceilings are not flat and morph as flow rates change, this induces the same concentration to correspond to multiple intensities depending on z -location and flow velocity.…”

“…[ 53 ] The mixing of reagents and cell‐secreted compounds in simple microfluidic devices and conventional well plates is passive, making the mass transport of components limited by diffusion. [ 54 , 55 ] According to Fick's law of diffusion, the diffusion time is proportional to the square of the distance in a passive system with diffusion limitation. [ 56 , 57 ] In the case of a conventional well plate (≈8 mm), the average distance traveled is much longer than in the microfluidic chips (0.4 mm), making it up to 25 times faster to get an even distribution of a generic compound in the chip.…”

“…Both of them were charged with a fluorescein solution. The fluorescein molecule has an approximate diameter of about 1 nm, 33 which means that should be able to diffuse out through the 2 nm mesh size microworm but not through the 0.5 nm one. Microworms were placed in a DI water solution and Fig.…”
