Droplet generator chip - Multi channel design

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 applications such as particle synthesis and chemical analysis. Highly controlled droplet production also makes single cell analysis, or drug testing possible.

Droplet generator chip - Multi channel design, Fluidic 912, COC is made of (Cyclic olefin copolymer). It provides eight identical droplet generator units with a nozzle size of 80 μm on one chip. The continuous phase is introduced through one Mini Luer inlet, which separates into two channels. Operation of one unit of Fluidic 912 therefore requires a microfluidic pump with the ability to control two individual flows, one for the continuous and one for the disperse phase.
