Droplet microfluidics are currently having an impact across the research and medical industry. Microfluidics are currently being used for enzyme screening, nucleic acid sequencing, protein synthesis, single cell analysis, and organic & inorganic nanoparticle synthesis in both aqueous and organic systems.

Microfluidic devices allow for research companies to rapidly perform chemical and biochemical experiments at a massive scale. The ability to scale up to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of experiments is required to stay on the cutting edge of research for many laboratories. Droplet microfluidics are generated on a specially designed microfluidic chip which enables thousands, or tens of thousands, or even millions of these tiny liquid reaction chambers. These chambers are then able to be precisely controlled in terms of size, shape, composition, and temperature. The ability to manipulate and control these variables, paired with the ability to parallelize experiments, makes droplet microfluidics an ideal investment for processes that require both a high level of precision and a high number of experiments.
