    Abstract: A microfluidic device has a chamber; a fluidic access channel in fluidic connection with the chamber; a plurality of nozzle apertures in fluidic connection with the chamber; and an actuator, operatively coupled to the fluid containment chamber and configured to cause ejection of drops of fluid through the nozzle apertures in an operating condition of the microfluidic device. The chamber has an elongated shape, with a length and a maximum width, wherein an aspect ratio between the length and the maximum width of the chamber is at least 3:1. The nozzle apertures are configured to generate, in use, a plurality of drops having a total drop volume, wherein a ratio total drop volume to a chamber volume is at least 15%.
