Project Proposal:
Development of an electrical device to break droplet emulsions.
Water-in-oil microfluidic droplets are commonly used to perform single cell assays and analyses for biomedical research. Traditional methods for recovering the contents of these droplets rely on chemical treatments, which can impede subsequent molecular analyses. Our project aims to evolve this process by creating an electrical apparatus that can efficiently induce droplet coalescence without compromising cell viability. Experience with prototyping, using electronic components, and working with laboratory equipment will be beneficial.
Keywords: microfluidics, single-cell analysis, biomedical engineering
