Droplet generator Fluidic 162 features one functional droplet generation unit on one chip. Fluidic 162 givesthe possibility to be utilized from two sides, as it features droplet generation crossings at either side of the collection channel. Both sides are similar in channel design with a slight difference in distance of the double cross intersections.. Like most droplet generators with a double cross geometry, Fluidic 162 can also be used for single cross experiments by simply not connecting respective channels but closing their interfaces with plugs. With a nozzle size of 70 μm droplet sizes between 80 μm (~260 pl) and 210 μm diameter can be realized. A constant droplet size can be generated in various flow speeds by preserving the oil to aqueous phase ratio. By increasing the oil phase flow rate at a constant aqueous flow rate, the droplet size can be varied.
