  • DROPLET MICROFLUIDIC PLATFORM FOR THE ENHANCED DNA TRANSFER BETWEEN MICROBIAL SPECIES
    Publication number: 20220364120
    Abstract: In an embodiment, the present disclosure pertains to a microfluidic platform composed of a droplet generator having an entry point for donor particles and target particles, a first droplet incubation chamber in fluid communication with the droplet generator, a droplet detection functionality to allow for analysis of the inner content of droplets, and a droplet sorting functionality to allow for the separation of droplets based on the analysis of the inner content of droplets. In another embodiment, the present disclosure pertains to a method for cell-to-cell DNA, RNA, or other genetic material transfer through use of a water-in-oil emulsion microdroplet-based microfluidic platform for automation and high throughput identification or screening of genetic transfer outcomes utilizing the microfluidic platforms as disclosed herein.
