abstract = "Microfluidic probes (MFP) are an emerging class of open microfluidic systems that generate precisely controlled flow patterns over an open surface without the need for closed microchannels, with applications in cell studies and surface patterning. Currently, hydrodynamic properties specifically hydrodynamic flow confinement (HFC) dimensions and diffusive broadening under two-aperture MFPs are determined only through lengthy numerical simulations, or trial and error experiments. Here, we report a complete set of analytical results and scaling laws based on three user-defined parameters that accurately describe all key properties of both microfluidic dipoles (MD) and microfluidic quadrupoles (MQ).",
