Cell Culture in Microfluidic Droplets

Sebastien Sart et al.

Summary: The manipulation of cells in droplets using microfluidic technologies has shown great success, particularly in single-cell screening. It has also been used to study interactions between different cells and their environment. The quantitative aspects, biological constraints, and measurement methods of this technology have been reviewed, with a focus on applications in cancer studies, immunology, and stem cells, emphasizing the biological relevance of the cellular assays and providing guidelines for improvement.

A Lab-in-a-Fiber optofluidic device using droplet microfluidics and laser-induced fluorescence for virus detection

Helen E. Parker et al.

Summary: Microfluidics, specifically droplet microfluidics, is a rapidly developing field that offers independent manipulation and high-throughput analysis of droplets. In this study, we propose an optofluidic Lab-in-a-Fiber scheme using a periscope fiber for stable and compact alignment. We integrate droplet microfluidics with laser-induced fluorescence detection, demonstrating the generation of monodisperse droplets and achieving a limit of detection of fluorescein. Furthermore, we show the device's capability in detecting reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) products for COVID-19 diagnostics, highlighting its potential as a point-of-care droplet digital RT-LAMP platform.
