主权项 1. A device comprising: a microfluidic interconnected region comprising an upstream portion, a downstream portion and a dimensionally-restricted section separating the upstream portion from the downstream portion of the microfluidic interconnected region, the dimensionally-restriction section having a mean cross-sectional dimension that is dimensionally restricted relative to the upstream portion and the downstream portion, the upstream portion comprising a junction of two microfluidic inlet channels each containing a continuous fluid and one microfluidic inlet channel containing a subject fluid, wherein the continuous fluid completely circumferentially surrounds the subject fluid when the continuous fluid and the subject fluid flow through the microfluidic interconnected region.
