Abstract
The present invention relates to an emulsion, preferably a water-in-oil emulsion. comprising: a continuous phase comprising a conductivity improving compound, a dispersed phase suspended in the continuous phase, and a surfactant. The present invention also relates to a population of droplets comprising an aqueous phase, dispersed in a continuous oily phase comprising an oil and a conductivity-improving compound. The present invention also relates to a microfluidic chip comprising a hydrophobic composition comprising an oil, a surfactant and a conductivity improving compound in an injection chamber configured so that injecting a hydroplilic composition through said injection means will generate an emulsion in the injection chamber; and to a kit comprising a microfluidic chip and a container comprising an aqueous composition. The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing an emulsion according to the invention. The present invention also provides methods for analyzing biological material, for example for analyzing biological material within the emulsion of the invention.
