Centrifugal micro-channel array droplet generation for highly parallel digital PCR.
Stable water-in-oil emulsion is essential to digital PCR and many other bioanalytical reactions that employ droplets as microreactors. We developed a novel technology to produce monodisperse emulsion droplets with high efficiency and high throughput using a bench-top centrifuge. Upon centrifugal spinning, the continuous aqueous phase is dispersed into monodisperse droplet jets in air through a ...

We demonstrate the design and integration of droplet-based microfluidic devices with microoptical element arrays for enhanced detection of fluorescent signals. We show that the integration of microlenses and mirror surfaces in these devices results in an 8-fold increase in the fluorescence signal and in improved spatial resolution. Using an array of microlenses, massively parallel detection of ...
متن کاملAgarose Droplet Microfluidics for Highly Parallel and Efficient Emulsion Pcr
An agarose droplet method was developed for highly parallel and efficient single copy emulsion PCR. By capitalizing on the unique thermal-sensitive sol-gel switching property of agarose, PCR is efficiently performed in agarose solution droplets, which is gelated to agarose beads after PCR to capture amplicons to maintain the monoclonality of each droplet. This method allows high throughput gene...
متن کاملControllable Active Micro Droplets Merging Device Using Horizontal Pneumatic Micro Valves
We present an active droplet merging device, which can merge various sizes of micro droplets in different numbers by using pneumatically controlled horizontal PDMS microvalves. The merging part consists of a main and side channels separated by a pillar array. The pillar array structure is contained within a microfuidic channel. The function of the pillar array provides a bypass path to the cont...
متن کاملA novel picoliter droplet array for parallel real-time polymerase chain reaction based on double-inkjet printing.
We developed and characterized a novel picoliter droplet-in-oil array generated by a double-inkjet printing method on a uniform hydrophobic silicon chip specifically designed for quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis. Double-inkjet printing was proposed to efficiently address the evaporation issues of picoliter droplets during array generation on a planar substrate without the ...
