Lab-chip HPLC with integrated droplet-based microfluidics for separation and high frequency compartmentalisation.

چکیده
We demonstrate the integration of a droplet-based microfluidic device with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in a monolithic format. Sequential operations of separation, compartmentalisation and concentration counter were conducted on a monolithic chip. This describes the use of droplet-based microfluidics for the preservation of chromatographic separations, and its potential application as a high frequency fraction collector.

Programmable active droplet generation enabled by integrated pneumatic micropumps.
In this work we have investigated the integrated diaphragm micropump as an active fluidic control approach for the on-demand generation of droplets with precisely defined size, frequency and timing. In contrast to valve-actuated devices that only modulate the flow of the dispersed phase being continuously injected, this integrated micropump allows the combination of fluidic transport and modula...
متن کاملHigh-throughput sample introduction for droplet-based screening with an on-chip integrated sampling probe and slotted-vial array.
We developed a droplet-based microfluidic screening system with an on-chip sampling probe integrating multi-channels for sample introduction, reagent merging and nanolitre-scale droplet generation, and a slotted-vial array sample presenting system. The present system was applied in protein crystallization conditions screening with an ultra-high sampling throughput up to 6000 h(-1) for different...
متن کاملTransitioning from multi-phase to single-phase microfluidics for long-term culture and treatment of multicellular spheroids.
When compared to methodologies based on low adhesion or hanging drop plates, droplet microfluidics offers several advantages for the formation and culture of multicellular spheroids, such as the potential for higher throughput screening and the use of reduced cell numbers, whilst providing increased stability for plate handling. However, a drawback of the technology is its characteristic compar...
متن کاملMicrofluidic droplet-array liquid-liquid chromatography based on droplet trapping technique.
We describe the first realization of liquid chromatographic separation in a droplet-based microfluidic system and develop a novel mode for microchip-based chromatography named as droplet-array liquid-liquid chromatography. In this system, two arrays of picoliter-scale droplets immobilized on both sidewalls of a microchannel with droplet trapping technique served as the stationary phase in chrom...
متن کاملFluidic conduits for highly efficient purification of target species in EWOD-driven droplet microfluidics.
Due to the lack of continuous flows that would wash unwanted specifies and impurities off from a target location, droplet microfluidics commonly employs a long serial dilution process to purify target species. In this work, we achieve high-purity separation for the case of electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) based droplet microfluidics by introducing a "fluidic conduit" between a sample droplet...
