Tuna-step: tunable parallelized step emulsification for the generation of droplets with dynamic volume control to 3D print functionally graded porous materials

Abstract

We present tuna-step, a novel microfluidic module based on step emulsification that allows for reliable generation of droplets of different sizes.

Automated dynamic inlet microfluidics system: 3D printer adaptation for cost-effective, low volume, on-demand multi-analyte droplet generator

“…The most common generation mechanism for DoD systems, as documented in the literature, involves the introduction of a valve on the disperse phase, controllable either pneumatically 17 or electrically. Active control methods are employed in these devices to manipulate the formation of droplets.…”
