What droplet generator should I choose?
Recommended droplet generator type
The default recommended option is a focused flow droplet generator. T-shaped droplets are only recommend when there's a good consideration behind. It's recommended to always start with a single junction chip, instead of version with multiple parallel junctions.
Nozzle size recommendation
We recommend the following nozzle size per droplet size range:
| Droplet size range [µm] | Nozze size [µm] |
| 9-20 | 10 |
| 20-40 | 20 |
| 40-90 | 50 |
| 64-140 | 75 |
*The reference droplet size range is based on a reference experiment with Silicone oil 5cSt and DI water combined with 2% v/v Tween 20 or Tween 80.
Surface coating
With a water-in-oil droplet type, we recommend the hydrophobic coating. With a oil-in-water droplet type, we don't recommend the use of a coating.
