Droplet microfluidics.
Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been shown to be compatible with many chemical and biological reagents and capable of performing a variety of "digital fluidic" operations that can be rendered programmable and reconfigurable. This platform has dimensional scaling benefits that have enabled controlled and rapid mixing of fluids in the droplet reactors, resulting in decreased reaction time...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Applications of Droplet Microfluidics
Droplet-based microfluidics is a colloidal and interfacial system that has rapidly progressed in the past decade because of the advantages of low fabrication costs, small sample volumes, reduced analysis durations, high-throughput analysis with exceptional sensitivity, enhanced operational flexibility, and facile automation. This technology has emerged as a new tool for many recently used appli...
متن کاملLiquid-in-gas Droplet Microfluidics
Here we demonstrate a novel concept of liquid-in-gas droplet microfluidics by using gas flow as the continuous phase for the production of liquid droplets. Within a specially configured co-flow microfluidic tubing device, a flow of liquid phase has been continuously dispersed into another outer stream of gas phase, producing discrete and monodisperse microdroplets. This process is robust and we...
متن کاملScalable attoliter monodisperse droplet formation using multiphase nano-microfluidics
We demonstrate a robust method to produce monodisperse femtoliter to attoliter droplets by using a nano-microfluidic device. Two immiscible liquids are forced through a nanochannel where a steady nanoscopic liquid filament forms, thinning close to the nanochannel exit to a microchannel due to the capillary focusing. When the nanoscopic filament enters the microchannel, monodisperse droplets are...
متن کاملDroplet microfluidics for high-throughput biological assays.
Droplet microfluidics offers significant advantages for performing high-throughput screens and sensitive assays. Droplets allow sample volumes to be significantly reduced, leading to concomitant reductions in cost. Manipulation and measurement at kilohertz speeds enable up to 10(8) samples to be screened in one day. Compartmentalization in droplets increases assay sensitivity by increasing the ...
