Abstract
Examples include microfluidic devices. Example microfluidic devices comprise a microfluidic channel, a capillary chamber, and a fluidic actuator. The microfluidic channel is fluidly connected to the capillary chamber. The capillary chamber is to restrict flow of fluid therethrough. The fluidic actuator is positioned proximate the capillary chamber. The fluidic actuator is to actuate to thereby initiate flow of fluid through the capillary chamber.
