Focused flow droplet generators are widely used in microfluidics to generate highly monodisperse droplets of various sizes.
 
This Micronit chip offers the following features:
Manufactured from high-quality borosilicate glass, inert to most chemicals and biocompatible
Precision-etched microfluidic channels for reproducible results
Three nozzle sizes: 10 µm (9-20 µm droplet range), 50 µm (40-90 µm droplet range) or 75 µm (65-140 µm droplet range)*
Sideconnect interface: flow is less disrupted than with perpendicular connection ports, ideal for droplet reinjection
Optimized nozzle geometry: etched on both sides (oval shape), stable and highly monodisperse droplet generation
Uncoated (hydrophilic) for oil-in-water (O/W) droplet generation, or coated (hydrophobic) for water-in-oil (W/O) droplet generation
*Indicated reference droplet sizes are based on a reference experiment with Silicone oil 5cSt and DI water combined with 2% v/v Tween 20 or Tween 80.

Easily change the droplet size and frequency by tuning the flow rates of the dispersed and continuous phases. These chips are suitable for foam, digital PCR, single-cell analysis, encapsulation, particle and nanoparticle production, etc.
