one or more embodiments are directed to a microfluidic delivery system that dispenses a fluid in a direction that , at least in part , opposes gravity . in one embodiment , the microfluidic delivery system includes a microfluidic refill cartridge that is configured to be placed in a housing . the microfluidic refill cartridge includes at least one nozzle that faces upward or off to a side . the microfluidic refill cartridge includes a fluid transport member that allows fluid to travel upward from a fluid reservoir in opposition to gravity . a fluid path is located above the fluid transport member placing an end of the fluid transport member in fluid communication with a chamber and a nozzle . in response to the microfluidic delivery system receiving an electrical signal , an ejection element is configured to cause fluid in the chamber to be expelled through the nozzle . in response to the fluid being expelled from the nozzle , fluid may be pulled up through the fluid transport member and through the fluid path to refill the chamber .
