A versatile platform for surface modification of microfluidic droplets.
To advance emulsion droplet technology, we synthesize functional derivatives of Pluronic F127 that can simultaneously act as surfactants and as reactive sites for droplet surface decoration. The amine-, carboxyl-, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester-, maleimide- and biotin-terminated Pluronic F127 allows ligand immobilization on single-emulsion or double-emulsion droplets via electrostatic adsorption, c...
متن کاملDynamics of microfluidic droplets.
This critical review discusses the current understanding of the formation, transport, and merging of drops in microfluidics. We focus on the physical ingredients which determine the flow of drops in microchannels and recall classical results of fluid dynamics which help explain the observed behaviour. We begin by introducing the main physical ingredients that differentiate droplet microfluidics...
متن کاملFluoropolymer surface coatings to control droplets in microfluidic devices.
We have demonstrated the application of low surface energy fluoropolymer coatings onto poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic devices for droplet formation and extraction-induced merger of droplets. Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) was used to pattern fluoropolymer coatings within microchannels based on geometrical constraints. In a two-phase flow system, the range of accessible f...
متن کاملEncapsulating Beads/cells in Uniform-sized Droplets on a Microfluidic Chip Utilizing Hydrophilic Modification of a Surface
ABSTRACT In this study we present a simple method to encapsulate beads or cells in the droplets on the microfluidic chip. The proposed chip integrates surface modification technique and pneumatic components, the droplets are formed directly without cross contamination of the carrier buffer. Therefore, the superfluous sample is recycled, which significantly reduces the sample consumption. Moreov...
متن کاملSilicon Nanoribbon FET Sensors: Fabrication, Surface Modification and Microfluidic Integration
Over the past decade, the field of medical diagnostics has seen an incredible amount of research towards the integration of one-dimensional nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes, metallic and semiconducting nanowires and nanoribbons for a variety of bio-applications. Among the mentioned one-dimensional structures, silicon nanoribbon (SiNR) field-effect transistors (FET) as electro-chemical na...
