| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Water-in-oil microdroplets formed in microfluidic devices have been studied with eagerness in the past decade because of they can be used as picolitter sized chemical containers and applied to analysis for high-throughput microanalyses such as single cell assay. However, the quantification of the microdroplet contents was difficult because of its short optical path lengths. In order to overcome this difficulty, we developed the selective condensation method for microdroplet contents by utilizing spontaneous emulsification at the interface of the microdroplets. Here, we demonstrated the selective condensation of analyte molecules in microspaces, and their applications to protein determination and crystallization.
