I DESCRIPTION The Fluigent RayDrop is a patented technology for droplet generation presenting most of the advantages of a glass chips as resistance to strong chemicals and compatibility with high pressures ( > 2 bar). However, glass chips represent a very expensive disposable in everyday lab work, they can lead to leackage issues and have limited lifetime as they are almost impossible to recover once clogged. The RayDrop device uses standard fittings leading to sealed connections and its design allows an easy recovery if clogging occurs. The RayDrop technology has two additional features:...

PRODUCT DATASHEET TECHNOLOGY The RayDrop is a combination of a co-flow device and a flow-focusing device. When a droplet is formed, at the nozzle, the hydrophobic forces associated to the acceleration of the continuous phase entering the outer capillary produce a droplet without any need of surfactant. The device could even produce droplet of two miscible fluids. The droplets never touch a surface which allows one to make either water-in-oil or oil-in-water droplets on the same device and without any surface treatment. The mechanical design of the RayDrop is done in a modular way so that...
