Droplet microfluidics
Droplet microfluidics is a technique that manipulates tiny amounts of liquids, breaking them into uniform, microscopic droplets within a carrier fluid, often oil. These droplets act like miniature reaction chambers, allowing scientists to conduct many experiments simultaneously on a small scale. This approach enables precise control over reactions, high-throughput screening, and rapid analysis in fields like biology and chemistry, all within a compact and efficient system. The technology leverages specialized channels and devices to generate, manipulate, and analyze these droplets, making complex processes faster, cheaper, and more scalable.
