Single-cell manipulation and analysis is essential for studying many fundamental biological
processes and discovering cellular heterogeneity. Multi-parameter studies of intercellular …

Owing to its ability to isolate single cells and perform high-throughput sorting, droplet sorting
has been widely applied in several research fields. Compared with flow cytometry, droplet …

Droplet microfluidics constitutes a diverse and practical tool set that enables chemical and
biological experiments to be performed at high speed and with enhanced efficiency when …

The recent boom in single-cell omics has brought researchers one step closer to
understanding the biological mechanisms associated with cell heterogeneity. Rare cells that …

We introduce the UV–vis spectra-activated droplet sorter (UVADS) for high-throughput label-
free chemical identification and enzyme screening. In contrast to previous absorbance …

Uncovering the heterogeneity of cellular populations and multicellular constructs is a long-
standing goal in fields ranging from antimicrobial resistance to cancer research. Emerging …

Droplet-based microfluidics has been widely applied in enzyme directed evolution (DE), in
either cell or cell-free system, due to its low cost and high throughput. As the isolation …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important biomarkers of liquid biopsy. The number and
heterogeneity of CTCs play an important role in cancer diagnosis and personalized …

Evolution is essential to the generation of complexity and ultimately life. It relies on the
propagation of the properties, traits, and characteristics that allow an organism to survive in …

Progress in cell purification technology is critical to increase the availability of viable cells for
therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications. A variety of techniques are now available …
