| Abstract | We report the generation and downstream manipulation of magnetic droplets in continuous flow. Magnetic droplets were formed using aqueousbased ferrofluids as the dispersed phase and a fluorocarbon oil as the continuous phase. Droplet manipulation was demonstrated with simple permanent magnets using two microfluidic platforms: (i) flow focus� ing droplet generation followed by their splitting into daughter droplets containing different amounts of magnetic nanoparticles, and (ii) droplet generation at a Tj unction and their downstream deflection across a chamber for sorting based on the applied magnetic field and magnetite loading of the droplet. Both systems show great potential for perform� ing a wide range of high throughput continuous flow processes including sample dilution, cell sorting and screening, and microparticle fabrication. |
