Droplet microfluidics
Definition
Generating and manipulating discrete droplets in an immiscible carrier, each a tiny isolated reactor — the basis of single-cell workflows.
Explanation
Droplet microfluidics generates and manipulates discrete droplets of one fluid inside an immiscible carrier, each droplet acting as an isolated picolitre reactor.
It underpins high-throughput assays and single-cell techniques, where cell encapsulation follows Poisson statistics.
