MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE FOR STORAGE AND WELL-DEFINED ARRANGEMENT OF DROPLETS |
摘要 |
The present invention relates to systems and methods for the arrangement of droplets in pre-determined locations. Many applications require the collection of time- resolved data. Examples include the screening of cells based on their growth characteristics or the observation of enzymatic reactions. The present invention provides a tool and related techniques which addresses this need, and which can be used in many other situations. The invention provides, in one aspect, a tool that allows for stable storage and indexing of individual droplets. The invention can interface not only with microfluidic/microscale equipment, but with macroscopic equipment to allow for the easy injection of liquids and extraction of sample droplets, etc.
