The present invention is related to a microfluidic device capable of conveying a liquid (19) by capillary forces. Said microfluidic device comprises a microfluidic channel system (10, 12, 14; 43, 44; 63, 64) with i) one liquid supply compartment (81, 91, 101) and ii) a first channel (10) connected to the liquid supply compartment (81, 91, 101), having at least one non-closing valve (1, 65, 73) located downstream of the liquid supply compartment (81, 91, 101) and ii) a second channel (12, 43, 44). The second channel (12, 43, 44) branches- off from the first channel (10) downstream of the liquid supply compartment (81, 91, 101) but upstream of the at least one non-closing valve (1, 65, 73) and which re-united with the first channel (10) at the location of the non-closing valve (1, 65, 73) to form an outlet channel (14). The second channel (12, 43, 44) does not contain any non-closing or closing valve thus creating an unobstructed liquid flow path connecting the liquid supply compartment (81, 91, 101) with the outlet channel (14).
