Eötvös number (Bond Number): 007 or gravity override in microchannels?

How do you know that the oil doesn’t rise above the water in the channels, or pores, of your microfluidic chips as a result of the density difference between the fluids? This is a question that we often hear when talking at events or chatting with...
