Droplet and particle generation in microfluidics

High Throughput Single Cell Analysis

Microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technology have emerged as the most promising approaches to address these challenges. These innovative technologies hold the potential to unlock new insights into single cell properties and their roles within populations.

How to ask cells what proteins they produce?

The conventional way to isolate cells is by using Fluorescence Activation (FACS) to sort them into barcoded well plates (96 wells, 384 or 1536). This step is quite fast with the FACS currently available, but segregating thousands of cells into plates will result in a long process of pipetting. Droplet microfluidics allows for fast and low volume compartmentalization up to a thousand drops produced per second

Microfluidic Droplet Production Method

Droplet microfluidics is a powerful tool which consists of generating and manipulating micron-sized monodispersed droplets.
