Devices and methods for forming relatively monodisperse droplets

Devices and methods for dividing droplets are generally described. In some embodiments, an article may comprise a fluidic channel comprising an array of obstructions. In certain embodiments, the arrangement of obstructions in the array may affect the flow path of fluid in the channel. For example, the array of obstructions may be used to convert a polydisperse population of droplets into a relatively monodisperse population of droplets. Passing a polydisperse population of droplets through the array may result in the division of droplets such that the population of droplets exiting the array has a narrower distribution in the characteristic dimensions of the droplets. The arrangement of obstructions in the array may allow for high-throughput production of a substantially monodisperse population of droplets in some cases. In some embodiments, the population of droplets exiting the array may be converted into particles.
