متن کاملParallel microfluidic synthesis of size-tunable polymeric nanoparticles using 3D flow focusing towards in vivo study.
UNLABELLED Microfluidic synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) can enhance the controllability and reproducibility in physicochemical properties of NPs compared to bulk synthesis methods. However, applications of microfluidic synthesis are typically limited to in vitro studies due to low production rates. Herein, we report the parallelization of NP synthesis by 3D hydrodynamic flow focusing (HFF) usi...

متن کاملSimulation of a 3D Flow-Focusing Capillary-Based Droplet Generator
Introduction Droplet-based microfluidics is a research area that has caught the attention of different disciplines in the past decade[1]. Droplets of immiscible fluids (typically water in oil W/O or oil in water O/W) have been used as confined pL-nL size reaction chambers in which reagents and conditions are precisely controlled. Applications of this technology include: single cell assays, gas-...
