Product catalog summary
iFlow™ Droplet System Overview
The iFlow™ Droplet System by PreciGenome is an advanced microfluidic droplet generation system that offers enhanced control over droplet size and uniformity. It supports both single and double emulsion configurations and is available in touchscreen and light versions. The system is scalable, cost-effective, and features an intuitive user interface.
Key Benefits
  • High performance with tunable droplet size and uniform production.
  • Open platform compatible with various reagents and microfluidic chips.
  • Scalable throughput for small and large volume production.
  • Simple operation with easy setup and compact design.
  • Cost-effective with affordable configurations and low-cost consumables.
System Components
The system includes a PG-MFC-LT-2CH light pressure controller, reservoir kits, droplet generation chips, optional flow sensors, and high-speed imaging systems. The iFlow Light version is more affordable and compact, requiring an external pressure source.
Working Principle
The system uses controlled droplet break-up at an orifice to produce monodisperse micro-emulsions. It requires two or more immiscible liquid phases, with various chip materials available for different applications.
Applications
  • Droplet-based PCR and DNA/RNA sequencing.
  • Drug delivery and protein crystallization.
  • Cell culture and chemical synthesis.
  • Microparticle and gel particle synthesis.
Droplet Size & Frequency Tuning
The iFlow pressure controller allows precise control over droplet size and production rates, with data provided for different chip configurations and pressure settings.
Product Models
Various models are available, including iFlow Touch with imaging, iFlow Touch, iFlow Light, and custom designs. Each model offers different features such as droplet size range, monodispersity, and generation rate.
Single Cell Analysis
The iFlow system supports single cell isolation, PCR amplification, and other applications in biopharmaceutical discovery and synthetic biology. It offers flexible setup and custom design options.
Encapsulation Efficiency
Encapsulation follows the Poisson distribution, with data provided for single and double emulsion systems. Surfactants and stabilizing agents are used to maintain stable emulsions.
Drop-Seq Application
Drop-Seq pairs single cells with barcoding microparticles in droplets, serving as reaction chambers for cell lysis and RNA hybridization. The process follows the Poisson distribution for encapsulation efficiency.
Hydrogel Beads Encapsulation
Hydrogel beads can achieve high encapsulation rates using the same microfluidic chip design as Drop-Seq, with diverse applications through functional group attachment.
Introduction
The document discusses the use of mono-dispersed hydrogel beads combined with microfluidic droplet technology for various applications in cell culture and drug delivery studies. This technology allows for high encapsulation rates of single cells and beads, enabling the creation of miniature independent reaction chambers.
Applications
Researchers can study individual cell behaviors in different environments, perform single-cell RNA sequencing by adding barcodes to hydrogel beads, and investigate rare cancer cell mutations, drug responses, and CRISPR screenings. The platform also facilitates cell isolation and sorting.
Technology and Location
PreciGenome, located in San Jose, California, specializes in developing nanoparticle synthesis systems. Their technology supports rapid prototyping with reliable performance for lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, and PLGA.
Contact Information
The document provides contact details for PreciGenome's headquarters and distributors in China, Korea, and Taiwan.

Working Principle The system requires two or more unmixable liquid phases, referred to as the dispersed phase, sometimes called the droplet phase, and the continuous phase. The schematic below illustrates the device with junction in focused-flow geometry designed for droplet generation. Continuous phase Schematic illustration of enlarged junction, controlled break-up droplet at the orifice. The flow through the orifice enables a controlled droplets break-up, which is required for yielding monodisperse micro-emulsions.

Single Cell Encapsulation Efficiency PreciGenome Using 10 pm polystyrene beads as a model for mammal cells, droplet encapsulation follows the Poisson distribution. Data shown is for 55-60 pm droplets; expected value is with one-third of initial bead concentration (chip design dependent.) Single Encapsulation - Single Emulsion Beads Concentration vs. Encapsulation Rates The Poisson distribution also holds for other bead concentrations. As bead concentration decreases, a greater percentage of droplets have no or one encapsulation events. Data shown is for 55-60 pm droplets; expected value is one-third...
