Problems solved by technology

However, this method is not only complicated in processing technology, but also requires auxiliary equipment such as microfluidic drivers and droplet loaders. It is difficult to effectively control the size and uniformity of microdroplets, and the cost is high and the operation is inconvenient.
On the other hand, microfluidic chip droplet technology cannot form any droplet structure with any shape and arrangement due to the limitations of microchannels, and it is prone to adverse phenomena such as channel blockage and unstable flow rate.
In addition, it is difficult to realize the generation, capture, screening and analysis of large quantities of droplets at the same time based on the technical approaches of droplet generation such as electrical screening, optical manipulation and pneumatic valve technology, which limits its wide application in practice.
