Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been shown to be compatible with many chemical
and biological reagents and capable of performing a variety of “digital fluidic” operations that …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

We use microfluidic devices to encapsulate, incubate, and manipulate individual cells in
picoliter aqueous drops in a carrier fluid at rates of up to several hundred Hz. We use a …

An overview of the current information and analyses on the microfluidic synthesis of different
types of nanomaterial, including metallic and silica nanoparticles and quantum dots, is …

A novel method is presented for controllably merging aqueous microdroplets within
segmented flow microfluidic devices. Our approach involves exploiting the difference in …

Limiting dilution PCR has become an increasingly useful technique for the detection and
quantification of rare species in a population, but the limit of detection and accuracy of …

Microdroplets show great promise as a new high-throughput technology in chemistry,
biochemistry, and molecular biology.[1–3] Microdroplets can be generated at rates in excess …

This paper presents a new symmetrical flow route of perpendicular rupturing to realize the
controllable preparation of monodisperse O/W and W/O emulsions by using a cross-junction …

Droplet sorting by size was achieved in microfluidic channels through controlling the
bifurcating junction geometry and the flow rates of the daughter channels. The sorting …

We describe herein a microfluidic system for active and precise control of droplet division at
a bifurcation point in a microchannel. Water-in-oil or oil-in-water droplets, which were initially …
