Carrier-Phase Free Droplet Microfluidics
Our Platform Technology Exploits Differential Hydrodynamic Resistances, Surface Chemistry And Passive Air Based Valves To Seamlessly Operate And Control Sub-Nanoliter To Microliter Droplets Within A Complex Fluidic Network.
- Our base technology consists of channels with different hydrodynamic resistances.
- This resistance ratio allows fluid to imbibe into the wells in the lower channels.
- A unique air control valve, traps the fluid in the wells creating fluidic droplets.
- The air control valves also enable fluidic operations such as washing, dilution and fluidic communication to other networks that can be carried out on trapped fluidic droplets.
