  • Microfluidic device for production and collection of droplets of a fluid
    Patent number: 10563246
    Abstract: A microfluidic device and method for producing and collecting single droplets of a first fluid, the device including a microfluidic platform having at least a droplet microchannel wherein is produced a flow of single droplets of the first fluid dispersed in a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid, the droplet microchannel having at least one inlet extremity and at least one outlet extremity for distributing the flow of droplets, the device further including: a collection device including a plurality of receiving areas adapted to collect at least one of the droplets, elements for changing the relative position of the collection device and the outlet of the microfluidic platform, elements for controlling the flow of droplets, and elements for synchronizing the flow of droplets at the outlet of the droplet microchannel and the relative movement of the collection device with regards to the microfluidic platform.
