1. A microfluidic device comprising:

  • a. at least one low aspect ratio chamber comprising;

    i. two substantially parallel main walls;

    ii. a perimeter wall forming a boundary of said chamber and defining a length and width of said chamber, said chamber being further bounded by said two main walls, the distance between said main walls being small with respect to the length of said chamber; and
