FluoSurf is an emulsion stabilizer in fluorinated oil specifically formulated for droplet-based microfluidic applications, such as single-cell analysis. Biocompatible, it is highly stable even with pH or temperature variations, allowing the production of reproducible droplets.
FluoSurf-C, FluoSurf-O, or FluoSurf-S neat, 1g. To purchase more than 1g, just change the product quantity.
General
FluoSurf was formulated for microfluidic applications involving droplets. Its properties allow it to use in demanding applications where biocompatibility and stability are key requirements (PCR, encapsulation...).
The amphiphilic properties of FluoSurf nonionic surfactant stabilize the interface between aqueous droplets and oil to generate reproducible droplets with a high monodispersity, avoiding leaks and coalescence.
The FluoSurf is available as neat (minimum 1g, increments of 1g) or mixed with fluorinated oil.
3 FluoSurf formulations are available
- FluoSurf-C: Former classic FluoSurf, same formulation.
- FluoSurf-O: Ultra-low autofluorescence. Recommended for fluorescence detection, even at low concentrations.
- FluoSurf-S: Low molecular weight. Recommended for high-frequency droplet generation, for ddPCR application, and with viscous aqueous solutions. Not recommended with dyes due to possible cross-contamination.
Tip: use Fluo-Oil to dilute the neat FluoSurf.
Applications
FluoSurf nonionic surfactant is performant for standard droplet generation in microfluidics, but also for more demanding applications involving biology or chemistry:
- Water-in-oil droplet generation
- Single-cell analysis
- Cell sorting
- Encapsulation
- Alginate/polyacrylate/agarose/epoxy beads
- PCR
- 3D cell culture in droplet
