Description
Overview
Pico-Gen™ Picodroplet Generator Biochips* are specially designed for generating picodroplets from a single aqueous source. They enable reliable and consistent picodroplet formation with volumes ranging from as small as 60 picolitres up to 1,000 picolitres. Pico-Gen™ with a single aqueous inlet port and an oil inlet filter (80 x 80 µm nozzle) enables the generation of picodroplets 95 – 125 µm in diameter (500 – 1,000 pL in volume).
All Pico-Gen™ Biochips have an oil inlet in-line filter, which minimizes potential blockage of the flow focus nozzles. Simple and safe ‘Plug & Play’ fluidic interfaces facilitate easy connection of PicoGen™ Biochips to external liquid reservoirs and picodroplet collection devices. All channel surfaces have fluorophilic properties that work perfectly with Sphere Fluidics’ specialist chemical products (e.g.Pico-Surf™, Pico-Break™).
