dropletmikrofluidiikka
Dropletmikrofluidiikka, also known as droplet microfluidics, is a subfield of microfluidics that focuses on the generation, manipulation, and analysis of discrete, picoliter-sized droplets within microchannels. These droplets act as independent microreactors, enabling high-throughput experiments and precise control over chemical and biological processes.
The fundamental principle involves encapsulating small volumes of liquid within an immiscible carrier fluid, typically oil,
Key applications of droplet microfluidics span diverse fields. In biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, it is used for
The advantages of droplet microfluidics include reduced reagent consumption, faster reaction times due to increased surface-area-to-volume
