Droplets as microreactors for high-throughput biology.
Inspired by the principles of biological evolution, biologists--and others--have in recent decades harnessed the power of "natural" selection to sift through huge libraries of genes and find those with desirable properties. At the same time, the demand for high-throughput biochemical and genetic assays and screens has driven the development of increasingly miniaturised assay systems. An excitin...
متن کاملRapid and simple preparation of thiol-ene emulsion-templated monoliths and their application as enzymatic microreactors.
A novel, rapid and simple method for the preparation of emulsion-templated monoliths in microfluidic channels based on thiol-ene chemistry is presented. The method allows monolith synthesis and anchoring inside thiol-ene microchannels in a single photoinitiated step. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy showed that the methanol-based emulsion templating process resulted in a network...
متن کاملDouble Emulsion Droplets as Microreactors for Synthesis of Mesoporous Hydroxyapatite
We introduce a novel approach for synthesizing mesoporous hydroxyapatite (HAp, (Ca)10, (PO4)6(OH)2) using double emulsion droplets as microreactors. By using capillary microfluidic techniques, the size and the geometry of the droplet microreactors can be tuned easily. Double emulsion droplets offer the combined advantages of both shielding the reactants and on-demand addition of reactants; this...
متن کاملElectrical actuation of dielectric droplets
Electrical actuation of liquid droplets at the microscale offers promising applications in the fields of microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices. Much prior research has targeted the electrical actuation of electrically conducting liquid droplets; however, the actuation of dielectric droplets has remained relatively unexplored, despite the advantages associated with the use of a dielectric drop...
متن کاملDispensing Picoliter Droplets Using Dep Micro-actuation
Non-uniform, AC electric fields created by coplanar electrodes patterned on a substrate are used to move and manipulate aqueous liquid masses, and to dispense very small droplets. This liquid dielectrophoretic microactuation scheme has potential applications for microfluidic systems in the laboratory on a chip. Simple, co-planar electrode strips are used to divide microlitersized, sessile water...
