The preparation of mono- and multicomponent nanoparticle aggregates with layer-by-layer structure using emulsion templating method in microfluidics

Martina Jezkova et al.

Summary: Multicomponent hollow aggregates were prepared using an emulsion templating method adapted to microfluidic format, with IO and Au NPs in an inner inorganic shell covered with PCL NPs. Smaller aggregates were achieved compared to immiscible phases due to diffusion controlled shrinkage, with surface properties controlled by the mobilities and affinities of IO, Au, and PCL NPs. The biocompatible surface layer and inorganic shell with core space for cargo loading make these constructs advantageous for medicinal applications.

Development of droplet microfluidics capable of quantitative estimation of single-cell multiplex proteins

Hongyu Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, droplet microfluidics based on constriction microchannels was used to quantitatively measure multiple types of single-cell proteins with high throughput. By controlling the distribution of fluorescence labelled antibodies and utilizing the equivalent detection volume of constriction microchannels, the generated fluorescence signals were successfully translated into protein numbers.

Experimental investigation of on-demand ferrofluid droplet generation in microfluidics using a Pulse-Width Modulation magnetic field with proposed correlation

Mohamad Ali Bijarchi et al.

Summary: Micro-magnetofluidics is a promising tool for regulating the drop formation process with various engineering and biomedical applications. This study investigated on-demand ferrofluid drop generation at a T-junction using a magnetic pulse, as well as introduced a novel method for droplet formation with a non-uniform PWM magnetic field. The research discovered a new mechanism of drop generation called the beating regime and analyzed the effects of magnetic induction, flow rate, duty cycle, and frequency on generation frequency and drop diameter under PWM and DC magnetic fields.
