The droplets are encapsulated in silicone oil. Each droplet is chemically isolated from the others and from the walls of the tubing. Trains of droplets in a ‘spool format’ can serve as miniature chemical libraries for high throughput screening.

Liquid alginate droplets with encapsulated cells enter from the left. A crosslinking agent (barium chloride, stained with green dye for visualization) enters from the top. Hydrodynamic interactions in the T-junction adds a fixed amount of crosslinking agent to each droplet. Throughputs of up to 20 droplets/second can be achieved.

The system utilizes Fluxion’s Well Plate Microfluidics™ (WPM) to provide high content results from a convenient well-plate format. Precise control over shear flow enables a wide variety of cellular and microbiology applications which call for vascular emulation, mechanical stress, compound/buffer exchange and high content analysis.

BioFlux enables a wide variety of cell-based assays in the fields of immunology, vascular biology, microbiology, cancer research, stem cells, and more. Many of these applications benefit from the ability to create a physiologically-relevant shear flow profile, such as platelet adhesion, cell adhesion, rolling velocity, transmigration and stem cell differentiation. Other applications can benefit from the ability to introduce compounds in a time-resolved and well-controlled manner, such as wound healing, pharmacology and neurite-outgrowth assays.

Real-time movie of the ultrafast microfluidic flow captured by the STEAM camera. The duration, frame period, and shutter speed of the movie are 9.3 μs, 163 ns, and 440 ps, respectively. The flow of metal microspheres from the right to the left in the hollow fiber is evident. The flow speed is estimated from the movie to be about 2.4 m/s.
