     we present a facile microfluidic droplet-on-demand (dod) system in which a pulsed pressure generated by a high-speed solenoid valve is used to control the formation and movement of water-in-oil emulsion droplets in a t-junction microchannel. we investigated the working principle of the dod system and established a scaling model for the droplet volume in terms of the amplitude and duration of the pulse and the hydraulic resistance of the injection channel. the droplet formation was characterized in three designs at various pressure pulses. the experimental results support our scaling model very well. in the dod system we developed, nanoliter-volume droplets with a throughput of a few droplets per second were on-demand generated. moreover, we examined the applicable scope of the dod system. as examples of practical applications of the dod system, we demonstrated a digital display module to show droplets formed at a prescribed time and a droplet array with a concentration gradient to show droplets formed with a precise volume. we expect our work can provide design guidelines for a robust dod system and improve the capabilities of droplet-based microfluidics in ‘lab-on-a-chip’ systems.
