Abstract

Our goal is to develop a droplet-based platform that performs the concurrent sample preparation of 100's of single-cells for genomic applications. Single-cell genomics remain low-throughput applications compared to the speed of droplet manipulations developed so far. We have devised a strategy to trade the high-throughput capacity of droplet technology for higher control of droplet manipulation. This strategy combines droplet, traps and on-chip valves. We have implemented a modular approach and we present here two novel modules that enable true single-cell encapsulation and interfacing droplet microfluidics with microplate technology respectively.
