Dolomite Introduces Pressure-Based Droplet Generation System



Providing rapid advances in micro-droplet research

Royston, UK - Dolomite, a world leader in microfluidic design and manufacture, has introduced the Pressure-based Droplet Starter System, which is ideal for the initial exploration of droplet microfluidics. It provides a complete solution containing all necessary pumps, connectors and chips, enabling the immediate production of highly monodispersed droplets from 20 to 150µm, with a Ø tolerance of +/- 1 %. Operating over a wide pressure range of 0 to 10bar, this Pressure-based Droplet Starter System is extremely chemically resistant and its modular design makes it easily expandable for future application requirements.

Providing a pulseless and stable liquid flow, this cost-effective modular toolkit eliminates dead volume and sample waste to effectively reduce associated reagent costs. In addition, the ability to provide a quick liquid changeover significantly increases the throughput of any application. A lockable pressure chamber and an innovative 3-way chamber lid allow simultaneous pumping of up to three liquids, making it ideal for entry-level experimentation.

For bespoke applications, Dolomite designs and manufactures custom chips, tailored to meet the requirements of any laboratory.
