Caption

Top PDMS layer with an array of microwells, potentially containing different reagents. Fluid Loading: Illustration of the process where distinct solutions are loaded into the microwells of the top and bottom layers. Well Overlap: Depiction of the "slipping" mechanism, where the top layer is moved relative to the bottom layer to align and connect microwells, enabling mixing and the formation of concentration gradients.
