PRESENTATION DETAILS
Droplet microfluidics – the use of microfluidics to generate and manipulate small volume droplets in carrier fluids – is now well established, particularly for analysing single cells. However, there is much more than just microfluidics needed to develop and supply everyday useful systems. This talk will look at the challenges overcome to achieve the current high levels of performance and usability achieved today and highlight some of the areas requiring new ideas and thinking to extend the application of droplet microfluidics for single cell analysis. We will also be discussing our latest single cell analysis and isolation platform coming very soon!
