Droplet generator with monitoring chambers - 20 µm to 50 µm nozzles Fluidic 1749

The Droplet generator with monitoring chambers - 20 µm to 50 µm nozzles Fluidic 1749 is a versatile droplet generation chip that offers precise control for combining two liquids with four functional units. Each unit has a unique nozzle size between 20 and 50 µm, enabling a controlled and adjustable volume output. With four selectable channels and integrated monitoring chambers, this generator is designed to deliver homogeneous droplet distribution and high reproducibility for optical analysis, making it a standout option for advanced microfluidic applications.

General

The droplet generator Fluidic 1749 features four functional units, each with a monitoring chamber and a mixing unit. The functional units differ in nozzle size between 20 and 50 µm.  The droplet generator with integrated monitoring chamber enables the combination of two liquids prior to entering the nozzle region. A baffle mixer structure ensures homogeneous blending. The depth of the monitoring chamber corresponds to the specific nozzle size of each unit, thereby guaranteeing a single-layer droplet distribution — ideal for precise optical observation. A microfluidic pump with the ability to control two to three individual flows, one for the continuous and one or two for the disperse phase is needed to run one unit on this chip, depending if mixing of two liquids is required.

Features & Benefits

• Multiple Nozzle Sizes: Four units with different nozzles from 20 to 50 µm allow users to select their desired droplet size for various applications.
• Integrated Monitoring Chambers: Monitoring chambers for each unit enable real-time observation and precise droplet quality evaluation.
• Efficient Mixing: Baffle mixer structures blend two liquids together thoroughly before droplet generation starts, leading to even composition in droplets.
• Transparent Material: Made from transparent polymer for improved visibility and easy analysis under the microscope.
• Mini Luer Interface: Standardized connection guarantees compatibility with most laboratory syringe pumps and tubing systems.

This droplet generator is specifically made for researchers who need high precision in droplet microfluidics. All four functional units on a single chip enable fast switching between droplet sizes without exchanging devices. The chambers and nozzles allow for predictable and reproducible droplet formation. Material choices (PC or Topas(PCR)) allow for compatibility with different reagents and experimental needs. Transparent polymer bodies aid visual inspection and analysis.

The tool is intended for laboratories working in diagnostics, single cell analysis, pharmaceutical testing, or microreaction handling. It is flexible, compact, and supports fast set-up for multi-phase liquid workflows.

Applications

This product is ideal for advanced experimental setups in droplet microfluidics where precise generation, mixing, and observation of droplets are critical. Typical use cases include single cell encapsulation, drug formulation, reaction screening, and optical detection workflows.

• Single cell analysis
