Abstract

High-Throughput Large-Droplet Sorting

Akihiro Isozaki, Researcher of Kanagawa Institute of Industrial Science and Technology (KISTEC) and Research Assistant Professor, University of Tokyo

Droplet microfluidics is an attractive tool for large-scale single-cell analysis. However, there is a trade-off between sorting throughput and droplet volume that is related to the incubational capacity of droplets. Our method allows us to overcome this trade-off and achieve high-throughput (~5,000 droplets/sec) large-droplet (0.1 nL) sorting. In this talk, I present the details of our method and its applications.
