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 …

The ability to manipulate and sort droplets is a fundamental issue in droplet-based
microfluidics. Various lab-on-a-chip applications can only be realized if droplets are …

Various concentration gradient generation methods based on microfluidic systems are
summarized in this paper. The review covers typical structural characteristics, gradient …

Emulsions are metastable dispersions in which molecular transport is a major mechanism
driving the system towards its state of minimal energy. Determining the underlying …

Microfluidic technologies have a unique ability to control more precisely and effectively on
two-phase flow systems in comparison with macro systems. Controlling the size of the …

Using light to control liquid motion is a new paradigm for the actuation of microfluidic
systems. We review here the different principles and strategies to induce or control liquid …

The transition from micro well plate and robotics based high throughput screening (HTS) to
chip based screening has already started. This transition promises reduced droplet volumes …

Droplet microfluidics is a technique that has the ability to compartmentalize reactions in sub
nano-(or pico-) liter volumes that can potentially enable millions of distinct biological assays …

Cytotoxic T cells are important components of natural anti-tumor immunity and are
harnessed in tumor immunotherapies. Immune responses to tumors and immune therapy …

We revisit the physical balance that takes place when an interface between two immiscible
fluids reaches a step change in the height of a microchannel. This situation leads to the …
