Advancements in droplet-based microfluidics for high-throughput medical applications
24 May 2023In this application note, Opto introduces the Opto Imaging Module profile M, which is a digital inverted microscope designed for microfluidic experiments in the life science and medical fields. The module enables droplet-based microfluidics, a screening method that creates self-contained reaction vessels in the form of droplets. These droplets allow spatially separated biological or chemical reactions to occur, resulting in faster reaction times, reagent savings, and automation capabilities.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
