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 …

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

Cell manipulation in droplets has emerged as one of the great successes of microfluidic
technologies, with the development of single-cell screening. However, the droplet format has …

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

Contact electrification (CE) in water has attracted much attention, owing to its potential
impacts on the chemical reactions, such as the recent discovery of spontaneous generation …

Traditional diagnostic strategies for infectious disease detection require benchtop
instruments that are inappropriate for point-of-care testing (POCT). Emerging microfluidics, a …

In the discipline of bottom-up synthetic biology, vesicles define the boundaries of artificial
cells and are increasingly being used as biochemical microreactors operating in …

Electrochemistry, biosensors and microfluidics are popular research topics that have
attracted widespread attention from chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers. Here, we …

Digital microfluidics (DMF) is an emerging liquid-handling technology that enables
individual control over droplets on an open array of electrodes. These picoliter-to microliter …

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