  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USING OILS FOR ANALYSIS AND DETECTION OF MOLECULES
    Publication number: 20140170736
    Abstract: Oil compositions and methods for use in droplet formation or in spacing of droplets are disclosed. The oil compositions may include a combination, such as a silicone oil and a fluorine-containing compound. The droplets can contain analytes (e.g., nucleic acids) and may be used for molecular reactions (e.g., digital PCR) and detection.

  • DROPLET TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR DETECTION
    Publication number: 20120190033
    Abstract: System, including methods and apparatus, for transporting droplets from a tip to an examination site for detection.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 30, 2011
    Publication date: July 26, 2012
    Inventors: Kevin D. Ness, Benjamin J. Hindson, Anthony J. Makarewicz, JR., Amy L. Hiddessen
  • SYSTEM FOR FORMING EMULSIONS
    Publication number: 20120152369
    Abstract: System, including methods, apparatus, and kits, for forming emulsions. The system may include an instrument and a microfluidic chip received by the instrument. The instrument may apply pressure to prospective emulsion phases held by the chip, to drive formation and collection of emulsions in the chip. In some embodiments, the instrument may stop applying pressure to the chip when a change in pressure meeting a predefined condition is detected by the instrument. The change may indicate that an endpoint of droplet generation has been reached.
