Applications

Isolate individual cells or biomolecules in aqueous droplets that serve as microreactors for in vitro selection schemes. Compartmentalization of individual variants into droplets offers precise retention of the genotype-phenotype connection and substantially reduces reagent demand. Integrated droplet manipulation capabilities are useful for assays involving reagent addition steps.

Separate individual cells with high precision into aqueous droplets of picoliter to nanoliter volumes. Droplet generation occurs at a frequency of thousands of droplets per second and is intrinsically scalable, perfect for high-throughput experiments. Cell barcoding workflows are supported for simplified sample handling without the loss of cellular identity.

Encapsulate single mAb-secreting cells along with reporter molecules into their own reaction vessels. Generate thousands of droplets per second for massive parallelization of high-throughput experiments. Compartmentalization into droplets enables the creation of controlled microenvironments for individual mAB-secreting cells.

Compartmentalize DNA-encoded libraries into microfluidic droplets, which will preserve and retain the chemotype-genotype connection. Each aqueous droplet can serve as its own reaction vessel, allowing precise control of the concentration of small molecules within. Small droplet volumes require less sample and reagents for drug screening, significantly reducing costs.

Isolate, manipulate, and analyze individual microbial cells, revealing the genetic and metabolic diversity of microbial populations and communities. Rapid droplet generation enables high-throughput microbial analysis, reducing time and cost. Perform culture-independent analysis, including analysis of microbial communities directly from environmental samples.

Aqueous droplets serve as excellent microreactors for the assembly of synthetic proteins, gene circuits, and synthetic cells, as well as functional materials such as hydrogel beads. Generate thousands of picoliter- to nanoliter-sized droplets per second, enabling high-throughput experiments that save time, costs, and reagents. Precise control of the chemical microenvironment allows the fine-tuning of biological processes.
