Abstract

This invention provides microfabricated devices and methods for detecting, analyzing and sorting biological materials and particles. Droplets containing the particles are provided in an extrusion fluid, passed through a detection region, and then directed into a branch channel according to predetermined characteristics. For example, cells or viral particles contained in droplets of aqueous solvent are flowed past a detector in the nonpolar extrusion fluid decane, and routed into a selected branch channel for subsequent analysis or use.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A microfluidic device comprising
 a main channel, and   at least one inlet region in communication with the main channel at a droplet extrusion region.
