Abstract: There is an ascending requirement for analysis of chemical content of individual cells involving combination of various bioanalytical and optical sensors and arrangements. At the beginning of the cell analysis there is a need for creation of suitable transport vessels - droplets - that can be easily counted, sorted and serve for manipulation of cells with preserved biocompability as well. Among all of bioanalytical approaches droplet-based microfluidics proved its potential for producing droplets with precisely controlled size, shape as well as for encapsulation of reactants and delivering drugs. This study presents a simple microfluidic chip with flow-focusing geometry for generation of water droplets in fluorocarbon oil.
