A pack of 3 parallel droplet generators in glass with topconnect interface to be used with the Micronit Fluidic Connect Pro chip holder. Scale up your droplet production with 8 nozzles on one chip!
Available uncoated (hydrophilic) for oil-in-water or with a hydrophobic coating for water-in-oil, nozzle size of 75 µm.
General
Based on a focused flow design, this droplet generator combines 8 nozzles on one chip to multiply your droplet production rate by eight times! This Micronit chip offers the following features:
- Manufactured from high-quality borosilicate glass, inert to most chemicals and biocompatible
- Precision-etched microfluidic channels for reproducible results
- Common inlets and outlets, 8 nozzles of 75 µm: scale up your production without changing your setup
- Optimized nozzle geometry: stable and highly monodisperse droplet generation
- Uncoated (hydrophilic) for oil-in-water (O/W) droplet generation, or coated (hydrophobic) for water-in-oil (W/O) droplet generation
Easily change the droplet size and frequency by tuning the flow rates of the dispersed and continuous phases.
We recommend that your first use a single nozzle droplet generator before using this parallel droplet generator in the following cases:
- if your supply of sample material is limited or expensive (eight nozzles use eight times as much sample material)
- if you are trying to build an understanding of how the droplet size responds to changing parameters (one nozzle is easier to understand than eight nozzles that influence each other)
