Application notes

This application note describes the method for the production of double agarose emulsions using the RayDrop double emulsion chip and Fluigent pressure-based flow controllers. Agarose microcapsules are generated with precise control of particle, core and shell size.

Following is a method for encapsulation of reagent into alginate microbeads with total control of bead formation. A droplet-based microfluidic method is used to precisely control the production of microbeads without the drawbacks of large size distribution that present other methods.

In this application note, we describe the process of producing highly monodisperse alginate microparticles using droplet-based microfluidic methods to control droplet size and core-shell ratio. Different concentrations of alginate have been used to show the versatility and adaptability of the RayDrop in multiple applications.

In this application note we are investigating the usability of the commercially available surfactant dSurf for an exemplary digital PCR-assay.

We have demonstrated the use of Aria and its related software for the automated delivery of different liquids for the capture and labeling of cancer cells (breast cancer) using a complex microfluidic setup.

In this application note we have demonstrated how we can perform different type of double emulsion generation with a single device.

The Drop-Seq protocol, is a high throughput method that enables the sequencing of the mRNA from a large number of cells. With this method it is possible to create a gene expression map of the cell, or even distinguish cell populations within a tissue!

In this application note, discover how using microfluidics allows one to encapsulate single or multiple cells into tiny droplets of pL volume which are generated at a rate of approximately one thousand per second.

In this application note, We explain how to generate water emulsions in oil solutions using the Fluigent microfluidic system including pressure pumps, chemicals, tubing and a Droplet Generator PDMS Chip.

We present in this application note our Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy Platform (or EISP) consisting of microfluidic flow controllers from Fluigent to maintain precise flow control, a chip from Micronit Microtechnologies B. V to localize impedance measurements, and a lock-in amplifier from Zurich Instruments to perform impedance measurements. We demonstrate the system efficiency by determining the size of micrometer beads and by measuring the generation rate water-in-oil droplets.

The performance of three commonly used surfactants are compared at three different concentrations. The droplet stability over time and the droplet occupation rate is determined by encapsulating a microbial community derived from human skin.

In this Application Note, chitosan-shell/oily-core microcapsules are generated using the Raydrop double emulsion chip, and Fluigent pressure-based flow controllers. The influence of the fluidic parameters on the size and the release from the oil across the shell are studied and presented.

In this Application Note, PLGA shell/aqueous core microcapsules are obtained using the Secoya Raydrop Double emulsion. The influence of the fluidic parameters on the microcapsule size and release from the oil across the shell are explored in this application note.

In this Application Note, PLGA nanoparticles with high monodispersity are generated using the Raydrop single emulsion developed and manufactured by Secoya, and Fluigent pressure-based flow controllers. The ability to synthesise PLGA nanoparticles in a more controllable and reproducible way creates possibilities to tailor surface properties and increase fields of application.

Achieve reproducible, high-quality water in fluorocarbon oil emulsions with cutting-edge microfluidic devices. Ideal for Drop-Seq and RNA-Seq studies.
