Application

Microfluidic generation of droplets can produce highly monodispersed droplets with high frequency (up to hundreds of kHz). Interest in droplet-based microfluidic systems has grown substantially, because microfluidics offers the ability to handle very small volumes (μl to fl) of fluids, provides better mixing, encapsulation, sorting, and sensing. Microfluidics can be used for high throughput experimentation. Microfluidic-based droplets have many diverse and varied applications such as particle synthesis and chemical analysis. Highly controlled droplet production also makes single cell analysis, or drug testing possible.
Droplet generation and storage chip, Fluidic 488, PC is made of PC (polycarbonate), and was specifically designed to generate and capture droplets for on-chip optical analysis of single droplets. It features 24 rhombic storage units, each suitable to capture 108 individual droplets. With a combination of multiple T-junctions and a flow focusing nozzle, the channel design in the droplet generating area is a versatile tool for many different experimental settings.
