Droplet-based microfluidic systems generate, manipulate and control sub-microlitre droplets
enclosed within an immiscible carrier fluid. Owing to a number of remarkable features, such …

Novel and improved biocatalysts are increasingly sourced from libraries via experimental
screening. The success of such campaigns is crucially dependent on the number of …

BACKGROUND Many key global sustainability challenges are closely intertwined
(examples are provided in the figure). These challenges include air pollution, biodiversity …

Compartments for the spatially and temporally controlled assembly of biological processes
are essential towards cellular life. Synthetic mimics of cellular compartments based on lipid …

There is a recognized and growing need for rapid and efficient cell assays, where the size of
microfluidic devices lend themselves to the manipulation of cellular populations down to the …

We present a droplet-based microfluidics protocol for high-throughput analysis and sorting
of single cells. Compartmentalization of single cells in droplets enables the analysis of …

Droplet based microfluidics is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of research combining
soft matter physics, biochemistry and microsystems engineering. Its applications range from …

This review summarizes recent developments in microfluidic platform approaches. In
contrast to isolated application-specific solutions, a microfluidic platform provides a set of …
