Abstract: The present technology is directed to capillarity-based devices for performing chemical processes and associated system and methods. In one embodiment, for example, a device can include a porous receiving element having an input region and a receiving region, a first fluid source and a second fluid source positioned within the input region of the receiving element; wherein the first fluid source is positioned between the second fluid source and the receiving region, and wherein, when both the first and second fluid sources are in fluid connection with the input region, the device is configured to sequentially deliver the first fluid and the second fluid to the receiving region without leakage.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to capillarity-based devices for performing chemical processes and associated system and methods. In one embodiment, for example, a device can include a source configured to receive one or more fluids, a first material adjacent to and in fluid connection with the source, a second material, and a dissolvable volume-metering element positioned between the first material and the second material. The volume-metering element can be configured to provide a fluid connection between the first material and the second material. The volume-metering element can also be configured to at least partially dissolve and break the fluid connection between the first material and second material once a predetermined volume of fluid flows therethrough.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to capillarity-based devices for performing chemical processes and associated system and methods. In one embodiment, for example, a device can include a base configured to receive one or more fluids, a porous wick carried by the base portion, and a flow-metering element along the porous wick to modify a rate or volume of fluid flow along the porous wick. The porous wick can comprise a first pathway, a second pathway, and an intersection at which the first pathway and the second pathway converge. Input ends of the first and second pathways can be wettably distinct. Upon wetting of the input ends, fluid is configured to travel by capillary action along each pathway. The device may also include volume-metering features configured to automatically and independently control or modify a volume of fluid flow along one or more pathways of the porous wick.
