Droplet-based microfluidics has wide applications in various fields, offering advantages such as fast reaction, high sensitivity, high throughput, and low risk of cross-contamination. This review focuses on the impact of droplet microfluidics, particularly in drug screening and development. It discusses device fabrication methods, droplet generation/manipulation techniques, and highlights promising studies on drug synthesis and delivery in the last 5 years.
Droplet-based microfluidics offer great opportunities for applications in various fields, such as diagnostics, food sciences, and drug discovery. A droplet provides an isolated environment for performing a single reaction within a microscale-volume sample, allowing for a fast reaction with a high sensitivity, high throughput, and low risk of cross-contamination. Owing to several remarkable features, droplet-based microfluidic techniques have been intensively studied. In this review, we discuss the impact of droplet microfluidics, particularly focusing on drug screening and development. In addition, we surveyed various methods of device fabrication and droplet generation/manipulation. We further highlight some promising studies covering drug synthesis and delivery that were updated within the last 5 years. This review provides researchers with a quick guide that includes the most up-to-date and relevant information on the latest scientific findings on the development of droplet-based microfluidics in the pharmaceutical field.
