The Droplet Generator with Double Cross - 100 µm nozzles Fluidic 1032 is a microfluidic device designed for advanced droplet generation, with precise control of volume, selectable volume options by fluid control, and support for triple channel configuration. The device ensures reproducibility and flexibility for applications demanding accurate and repeatable droplet formation in complex single-cell workflows.
General
This droplet generator chip with three identical droplet generation units of double cross geometry was specifically developed for use in single cell sequencing experiments, where single cells (W) and beads/lysis buffer (W) need to be introduced into a single droplet in an oil phase (O). Fluidic 1032 features Mini Luer interfaces and its use requires a microfluidic pump setup with the ability to control three individual flows. It is, however, also possible to use this droplet generator to generate W/O droplets by simply closing one inlet and supplying only two inlets with a liquid stream.

Features & Benefits
- Multiple Droplet Units: The device contains three identical units for parallel droplet generation. This allows scalable experiments and repeatable output.
- Double Cross Geometry: The unique geometry is developed for demanding single cell sequencing workflows, increasing capture efficiency and flexibility.
- Flexible Input Options: Supports up to three inlets. You can choose to run with all or only two, adjusting the experimental workflow as needed.
- Mini Luer Interface: Universal fluidic connections enable compatibility with common microfluidic pump systems.
- Material Options and Treatment: Available in PC or Topas and with either untreated or hydrophilized surfaces. This supports a range of biological and chemical protocols.
- Transparent Body: Visual inspection and monitoring during experiments are easy, supporting reliable operation.
This chip is tailored for the generation of encapsulated droplets for biological and chemical workflows. It especially targets single-cell sequencing, where the efficient co-encapsulation of cells and reagents is crucial. The three droplet generator units can operate in parallel, maximizing throughput in your experiments. The flexible design and interface support integration with most microfluidic setups.By configuring the chip’s inlet channels and choosing either PC or Topas material, as well as surface treatment, users can align the droplet generator with the specific requirements of their protocol. The robust design provides stable and repeatable droplet formation for high-quality data collection.
Applications
This product is used in scientific and laboratory settings where accurate, repeatable droplet formation is required. Example use cases include:
- Single cell sequencing and genomics workflows
- Biochemical assay development with droplet microfluidics
- Micro-encapsulation of cells or reagents
- Routine droplet generation for chemical reactions
