Droplet-based microfluidics enables assays to be carried out at very high throughput (up to
thousands of samples per second) and enables researchers to work with very limited material…

Monoclonal antibodies can specifically bind or even inhibit drug targets and have hence
become the fastest growing class of human therapeutics. Although they can be screened for …

Screening drugs on patient biopsies from solid tumours has immense potential, but is challenging
due to the small amount of available material. To address this, we present here a plug-…

Tailoring patient‐specific treatments for cancer is necessary in order to achieve optimal results
but requires new diagnostic approaches at affordable prices. Microfluidics has immense …

Droplet microfluidics is a powerful tool for a variety of biological applications including single-cell
genetics, antibody discovery and directed evolution. All these applications make use of …

Partitioning and sorting particles, including molecules, cells and organisms, is an essential
prerequisite for a diverse range of applications. Here, we describe a very economical …

Fluorescence-activated droplet sorting (FADS) is a widely used microfluidic technique for
high-throughput screening. However, it requires highly trained specialists to determine optimal …

Functional screening of live patient cancer cells holds great potential for personalized medicine
and allows to overcome the limited translatability of results from existing in-vitro and ex-…

Disclosed herein is a method of operating a microfluidic system, a microfluidic system for
manipulating sample objects, and a control system for operating a microfluidic system. The …

El Debs and Merten 1 contend that “this approach”(ie, of an integrated microfluidic device
described in our paper 2 allowing the encapsulation of cells into droplets, which can be …
