  • Publication number: 20200360929
    Abstract: An automated fully integrated on-chip ultra-high-throughput droplet microfluidic screening platform (PolyChip) has been developed that integrates the cultivation and manipulation of cells (e.g., microbial) communities with “on the fly” sorting and analyses. The PolyChip system enables continuous operation of the entire process, from cell-encapsulated droplet generation, culture, merging with other cell-encapsulated droplets, culture, merging with reagent-laden droplets, culture, followed by detection and sorting.
