Microfluidic Droplet Generation Platform
A glass-chip droplet-generation bench for producing monodisperse droplets and emulsions — including PLGA microparticles, single-cell encapsulations, and microreaction droplets.
Includes the chip holder, horizontal fixture, two glass chips, and tubing. The all-glass wetted path is stable in the organic solvents (DCM, ethyl acetate, chloroform) that swell PDMS, so droplet size holds steady across a run. Pairs with a syringe or infusion pump (sold separately, or as the Microfluidic Droplet Generation System) and an inverted microscope.

Monodisperse droplets, on a solvent-stable glass platform
The Microfluidic Droplet Generation Platform produces uniform droplets and emulsions at a flow-focusing or T-junction on a glass chip. Droplet size is set by the flow-rate ratio of the two phases and the chip geometry, giving tight control over size and composition for droplet-based microreactions, emulsion work, and single-cell or particle encapsulation.
Why glass
PLGA and many other formulations require organic solvents — DCM, ethyl acetate, chloroform — that swell and distort PDMS channels, causing droplet drift and clogging. This platform uses an all-glass wetted path (borosilicate chip, PTFE tubing, PEEK/ferrule connections) that is dimensionally stable in those solvents, so a run holds a tight coefficient of variation from the first droplet to the last.
What's included
- Microfluidic chip holder / connect interface
- Horizontal standard fixture (cross-section, washer-sealed)
- Two glass microfluidic chips (single-emulsion standard)
- PTFE tubing, ferrules, and inline filters
A syringe or infusion pump is required and is sold separately — or buy the complete Microfluidic Droplet Generation System, which pairs this platform with a matched pump. An inverted microscope (most labs already have one) lets you watch droplet formation.
