About Microfluidic Droplet Generators
Microfluidic droplet generators utilize the latest innovations in microfluidic technology, providing unparalleled precision and control in creating tiny droplet-sized samples from liquids. These carefully designed droplets enable a wide range of research projects. From high-throughput screening and sample fractionation to cell and particle sorting and gene expression studies, microfluidic droplet generators deliver unparalleled accuracy, speed and reliability.
Maximum control over the droplet size and volume
Microfluidic droplet generation is a technique for creating highly reproducible droplets in a controlled manner. This method involves combining two immiscible liquids to form droplets. These droplets can be used as miniature test tubes or vehicles. These carefully designed droplets enable a wide range of research projects. From high-throughput screening and sample fractionation to cell and particle sorting and gene expression studies, microfluidic droplet generators deliver unparalleled accuracy, speed and reliability.
By minimizing the volume and maximizing control of droplets, droplet generators enable researchers to effectively distribute, regulate and analyze sample sizes. Microfluidic droplet generation offers the potential to work with low sample and reagents volumes. This is ideal when only limited samples volumes are available and/or when reagents are costly.
How Micronit designs the perfect droplet generator geometry?
Droplet generation takes place by combining two immiscible liquid flows into a droplet. These two flows are called the continuous phase (forming the external part of the droplet) and the dispersed phase (forming the internal part of the droplet). Due to Micronits’ highly accurate glass production techniques, great control of the droplet size is possible. The most basic system for microfluidic droplet generation consists of a pump that is connected via tubing to the droplet generator chip. The droplet generator chip forms the heart of the system, because here the actual droplet formation takes place. Micronit offers two droplet generation concepts, a topconnect or a sideconnect system. The first has great ease of use and the second is famous for its small footprint.
Droplet Generator Set-ups
Micronit offers a complete droplet generation setup consisting of chip holders, connection kits, and other tools for quick start of your project. Once you have proof of principle on a single droplet generator and want to ramp up the production of the droplets, you can switch to the our parallel droplet generator. This eight-nozzle droplet generator increases the production rate by eight times, while it can easily be connected to your existing system. A simple way to scale up your experiment!
In addition to single or parallel droplet generators, You can choose between top connect or side connect systems and select their preferred chips. Pumps are not supplied, we offer guidance on suitable pump types based on our experience
