Which outcome reduces flow rates in laminar microfluidic devices?

💡 Explanation

Increased viscosity enhances internal friction, therefore leading to increased fluidic resistance, because viscous forces oppose motion. This reduces flow, rather than alternative factors affecting surface interactions or heat changes.
