Abstract

A high throughput microdroplet-based system for single cell assays in microdroplets is provided. The system integrates parallel devices and switches to enable simultaneous analysis of different cells or cell combinations, or different assay conditions, on a single microfluidic chip. Interconnections between the inlets of individual devices on a common chip enable simultaneous screening of the effect of different combinations of drugs on single cells. The use of an oil inlet and microchannels with matched total flow resistance allows the synchronous generation of droplets with the same dimensions and/or volumes.
