Produce monodisperse hydrogel beads (PDI <5%)
Including drug delivery, wound healing, cell & tissue culture
A standard alginate beads generation pack contains one pumping channel to flow the aqueous alginate phase and another pumping channel to push the continuous oil phase through our droplet generation chip, enabling the generation of alginate droplets in oil.
The droplet size will be determined by the chip channel size and the flow rate ratio of both phases. Flow rates can be measured thanks to our multiple flow rate sensors (MFS or BFS series).
For the detailed experimental steps, please refer to our application note!

Microfluidics brings reproducibility and control over particle or droplet size that is not achievable by any other technique. Continuous hydrogel beads generation with constant size and flow rates control, results in highly monodisperse particles (PDI < 5%).
Moreover, microfluidics is an ideal technique for handling ultra small volumes and control what goes into each droplet or bead. Microfluidics give you flexibility to easily generate identical carrier with the same content. For more detailed protocole about alginate beads generation, please refer to our application note!
