Droplet microfluidics has proven as a revolutionary technique for single-cell analysis due to its high-throughput, uniformity, modularity. However, its applications are limited to single-cell analysis. High-throughput-experimentation enabled by droplet microfluidics can be employed for efficient exploration of numerous chemical reactions for catalysis and reaction discovery....
Organ-on-a-chip systems are well established as 3D cell culture microfluidic models capable of recapitulating the in vitro microenvironment of the cells. Organ-on-a-chips can differ in various aspects such as having a monoculture/coculture, mechanical components, electrical elements for actuation or real-time readouts, etc. The combination of...
Microfluidics has opened new windows of opportunities to researchers all around the world with various backgrounds. Although some applications such as organ on a chip and droplet microfluidics are quite established, newer applications are emerging as the field grows and more researchers gain access to...
Multi-layer microfluidic chips are used for a wide variety of applications involving microfluidics. They are commonly used in organ-on-a-chip platforms where one layer encapsulates the cell culture and receives nutrients or drug formulations from the top microchannels through a porous membrane. The design and fabrication...
In recent years, microfluidics platforms have progressed and resulted in the emergence of advanced droplet-based microfluidic systems that have gained significant attention in biology and chemistry research. Droplet microfluidic chips are capable of generating uniform droplets at ~kHz frequencies which makes them an ideal option...
