1. A method of using an environmental control reagent to maintain optimal conditions within a microfluidic device, the method comprising:
- introducing a volume of a first fluid into a channel segment of a microfluidic device, the first fluid comprising an environmental control reagent; and
introducing a volume of a second fluid into the channel segment of the microfluidic device, the second fluid comprising a component of a reaction mixture.

Abstract
Methods of controlling environmental conditions within a fluidic system, where such environmental conditions can affect the operation of the system in its desired function, and fluidic channels, devices and systems that are used in practicing these methods. Such methods are generally directed to environmental control fluids, the movement of such fluids through these systems, and the interaction of these fluids with other components of the system, e.g., other fluids or solid components of the system.
