Our lab has developed a novel platform for droplet sorting that can be used to sort enzymes by activity, and cells by metabolism. It is a passive technique that utilizes no excitation laser, detector, ...

Effective, accurate and quick ways to screen and sort microbes are in short supply. Most methods available now rely on additional labeling steps to sort bacteria, which are typically time-consuming ...

Static droplet array (SDA) is a necessary and integral tool when it comes to high-capacity screening tests, or assays, for identifying and targeting specific cells or analytes (substances whose ...

Microfluidic technologies have opened up new possibilities for ultra-low volume, and ultrafast assays, compared to bulk-scale counterparts. We have been focused on developing new tools for droplet ...

A research team from Boston University reported the development of a droplet microfluidic component library in a study published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering. The study introduces a rapid and ...

Droplet creation is a crucial but challenging subject in microfluidics. Depending on the application, the objective is to produce droplets of a particular size. Two immiscible phases are used in ...
