1. A microfluidic device, comprising:a body structure comprising at least a first electrode and at least a second electrode; and a plurality of integrated microscale channels disposed in the body structure, the plurality of integrated microscale channels comprising: at least a first transverse channel, the first transverse channel being in electrical communication with at least the second electrode; at least first and second side channels disposed on a first side of the transverse channel, each of the first and second side channels having first and second ends, the first ends intersecting the transverse channel, and the second ends being in electrical communication with at least the first electrode; and wherein an electrical current path between the at least first electrode and the second electrode through the first side channel provides substantially equal resistance to a resistance between the first electrode and the second electrode through the second side channel.
