  • To enable on-chip droplet generation, incubation, and optical readout on a single disposable device.

Main Methods:

  • The platform integrates droplet generation, storage, on-chip incubation, and optical readout.
  • It utilizes variothermal compression molding and a dual-layer photoresist strategy for fabrication.
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental characterization validated device performance.

Main Results:

  • The platform successfully generates and handles over 200,000 monodisperse 35 pL droplets per experiment.
  • Demonstrated functionality with biochemical and microbial growth reporter assays using various optical readout modalities.
  • Achieved compatibility with automated image-based analysis for high-throughput readout.

Conclusions:

  • The presented microfluidic platform offers a streamlined, integrated solution for generic digital bioassays.
  • It facilitates parallel testing and high-throughput analysis, advancing ddAssay applications.
