Droplet manipulation

特許 権利維持 Droplet-based microfluidics as a subcategory of microfluidics in contrast with continuous microfluidics has the distinction of manipulating discrete volumes of fluids in immiscible phases with low Reynolds number and laminar flow regimes. Interest in droplet-based microfluidics systems has been growing substantially in past decades. Microdroplets offer the feasibility of handling miniature volumes of fluids conveniently, provide better mixing and are suitable for high throughput experiments.[18] Exploiting the benefits of droplet based microfluidics efficiently requires a deep understanding of droplet generation,[19] droplet motion, droplet merging, and droplet breakup.
