The invention provides microfluidic devices with embedded fluidic impedances. Such impedancesdo not allow fluid to pass at a low differential pressure, but allow fluid to flow at a higher differential pressure. Impedances are formed by the three dimensional overlap of two or more channels contained within layers of the device. Such devices can be rapidly protyped and can be assembled to contain multiple fluidic impedances to perform complex fluid handling tasks, including metering defined volumes of samples and dividing samples into aliquots.
