Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A fully autonomous method of preparing highly monodispersed water-in-oil droplets with a low sample dead volume was realized using an air-evacuated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic chip possessing a simple T-junction channel geometry with two inlet reservoirs for oil and water to be loaded and one outlet reservoir for the collection of generated droplets. Autonomous transport of oil and water phases in the channel was realized by permeation of air confined inside the outlet reservoir into the degassed PDMS. The only operation required for droplet preparation was simple pipetting of oil and aqueous solutions into the inlet reservoirs. It was verified that the resultant droplets could serve as microreactors for digital polymerase chain reactions.
