Microalgae have emerged as a promising source for producing future renewable biofuels.
Developing better microalgal strains with faster growth and higher oil production rates is one
of the major routes towards economically viable microalgal biofuel production. In this work,
we present a droplet microfluidics‐based microalgae analysis platform capable of
measuring growth and oil content of various microalgal strains with single‐cell resolution in
a high‐throughput manner. The platform allows for encapsulating a single microalgal cell …
