Precise monodisperse droplet generation by pressure-driven microfluidic flows

Wen Zeng et al.

Summary: A mathematical model describing the nonlinear relationship between droplet generation in a T-junction microdroplet generator is established, showing that the droplet length varies nonlinearly with the driving-pressure ratio under low capillary numbers. Experimental testing of the droplet length and driving-pressure ratio relationship is done for different T-junction geometries. A closed-loop control droplet microfluidic system is demonstrated to more accurately control droplet size, with the relative standard deviation of droplet size under different flow conditions being less than 2%.

Open Source Hardware Cost-Effective Imaging Sensors for High-Throughput Droplet Microfluidic Systems

Kaiser Parnamets et al.

Summary: Microfluidic systems are highly attractive to the scientific community, and droplet microfluidics require high-framerate sensors for efficient observation. To avoid expensive cameras, unconventional cameras like webcams and smartphone cameras have been used. As microfluidic systems become more complex and autonomous, there is a need for highly customisable, cost-effective, and open-source hardware. This article compares three cost-effective imaging sensors, two of them being open-hardware, for potential use in high-throughput droplet microfluidic systems.

Digital twin for controlled generation of water-in-oil microdroplets with required size

Nafisat Gyimah et al.

Summary: This paper presents a digital twin model of a closed-loop controlled droplet microfluidic system, which allows evaluation of a wider range of droplet sizes. The digital twin model includes a flow-focusing device with a Proportional Integral (PI) controller for adjusting the flow rate of the dispersed phase to achieve the desired droplet size. The efficacy of the digital twin model was validated with six different droplet diameters, showing good agreement between the simulated and measured droplet sizes (R-2=0.993).

Feedback-controlled microbubble generator producing one million monodisperse bubbles per second

Benjamin van Elburg et al.

Summary: The study introduces a standalone lab-on-a-chip instrument that can efficiently produce monodisperse lipid-coated microbubbles, maintaining long-term stable, controlled, and safe operation using optical transmission-based measurement technique and feedback control method. This system demonstrates the ability to control bubble size and production rate, aiding in the development of microfluidic platforms for non-specialist end users.

Droplet flow cytometry for single-cell analysis

Ming Li et al.

Summary: The interrogation of single cells using flow cytometry and droplet microfluidics provides crucial insights into cell-to-cell heterogeneity. While flow cytometry relies on cell surface and intracellular biomarkers, it lacks spatial and temporal phenotypes and activities of cells. On the other hand, droplet microfluidics integrates flow cytometry to link cell phenotypes to genotypes at the single-cell level, offering a powerful tool for cellular assays.

Closed-loop feedback control of microfluidic cell manipulation via deep-learning integrated sensor networks

Ningquan Wang et al.

Summary: An adaptive microfluidic system with integrated electrical sensors for cell tracking and closed-loop feedback control is demonstrated in this work. The system measures cell flow speed at multiple locations, interprets data in real-time with deep learning algorithms, and uses a feedback controller to update a pressure pump for maintaining desired cell flow speed. The system shows fast convergence under continuous external perturbations, showcasing its potential for reliable standardized biomedical tests.
