  • COPOLYMERS FOR STABILIZING EMULSIONS AND/OR FORMING INTERFACIAL FILMS, AND METHODS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220241198
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to polymers and, in particular, to copolymers for stabilizing, e.g., emulsions or droplets. In certain aspects, the copolymers may comprise a relatively hydrophobic monomer and a relatively hydrophilic monomer polymerized together (e.g., randomly) to form the copolymer. Examples of hydrophobic monomers include methacrylates and vinylphenyls; examples of hydrophilic monomers include boronic acids or acid derivatives. Surprisingly, such random copolymers may act as surfactants, e.g., stabilizing droplets within the emulsion. In addition, in some cases, an interfacial film may be produced by exposing the copolymer to a complexing molecule, such as a polyol, that can complex with the copolymer to form the film. In some cases, the film may at least partially surround a droplet, and in certain embodiments, the film may be sufficiently sturdy such that the droplet can be removed from the emulsion.

  • SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND KITS FOR AMPLIFYING OR CLONING WITHIN DROPLETS
    Publication number: 20210340597
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to droplet-based microfluidic devices, including systems, methods, and kits for amplifying or cloning within droplets. In some embodiments, the present invention is generally directed to systems, methods, or kits for amplifying a plurality of nucleic acids, e.g., without substantially selectively amplifying some nucleic acids over others. The nucleic acids may be contained within the droplets. In addition, in some embodiments, a plurality of microfluidic droplet containing a species of interest, such as a nucleic acid, may be mixed with microfluidic droplets free of the species, then pipetted or otherwise transferred such that, on average, a predetermined number of droplets containing species of interest is transferred.
