Double Emulsion Microfluidic Chip

The Double Emulsion Microfluidic Chip makes double emulsions, droplets inside droplets, in two stages on one glass chip: the inner phase is broken into droplets in the middle phase, and those droplets are then wrapped in the outer phase. The result is monodisperse core–shell droplets for particle synthesis, cell encapsulation and controlled-release studies.
