Droplet Microfluidics: A Tool for Biology, Chemistry and Nanotechnology

Droplet microfluidics, a miniaturized laboratory approach, significantly advanced chemistry, biology, and nanotechnology by enabling high-throughput assays and precise control over small-scale reactions, reducing reagent use and waste. It facilitated applications like single-cell analysis, drug screening, and nanodevice fabrication. The study highlighted technical aspects such as aqueous microdroplet generation and challenges in maintaining stability and control. Despite progress, challenges in optimizing droplet manipulation and expanding applications remained, indicating potential for future developments in micro- and nanotechnologies.
