Focused flow droplet generator - sideconnect

Pack of 3 single nozzle side connect droplet generators with a nozzle etched on both sides, giving the following advantages:

• Optimized nozzle geometry
• Symmetric channels and nozzles for uniform droplet formation 
• Droplet production stable over a broader size and frequency range
• Smaller droplet sizes available

This microfluidic droplet generator is an excellent tool for generating highly reproducible microsized droplets with much higher precision and repeatability compared to conventional methods.

By tuning the relative viscosities, surface tension, and velocities between the dispersed and the continuous phase, droplet size and frequency can be altered. Oil-in-Water (O/W) droplets can be generated directly using the glass chips. Also, these droplet generators are suitable for coating in order to form Water-in-Oil droplets (W/O).

Further specifics:

• Droplet size can roughly be tuned from the size of the nozzle to be doubled
• Suitable for foam, digital PCR, single cell analysis, emulsions etc.
• Made from high quality glass, borosilicate, suitable for most biological and chemical applications
