Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar

The talk will be in the spirit of applied microfluidics, however there are still few questions of theoretical background to be answered. We report a new method for generation of tightly monodisperse nanoliter droplets by introduction of solely the dispersed phase into the system, without the need for precise control of its rate of flow. The system allows to generate libraries of nanoliter droplets from microliter samples of liquid delivered to the system with e.g. an automatic pipette. Dependence of the droplet viscosity on the volume of the droplets is still a puzzler.
