Light guided system delivers uniform nanoliter droplets on chip
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 06, 2026 Precise control of very small liquid volumes is essential for many modern biochemical analyses, but reliably dispensing droplets on the nanoliter scale remains a technical challenge on microfluidic platforms. Researchers have now demonstrated a light controlled droplet dispensing strategy that generates highly uniform, tunable nanoliter droplets on a chip by combining optoelectrowetting with dynamically designed light patterns. In the reported system, projected light patterns interact with an opto ... read more |
