MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS
FASTER DISCOVERIES
A microfluidic chip is a set of microchannels etched into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer or other material. The functionality of a particular device depends on the design of microchannels and how they are connected.
Droplet Genomics provides a wide range of off-the-shelf microfluidic chips for droplet generation, splitting, merging, picoinjection and sorting. For unconventional experiment needs, our experienced engineers will manufacture custom microfluidic devices.

"Orbit Discovery generates peptide libraries on the magnitude of millions or even billions of peptides but has been hindered by an ability to screen just 10,000 to 50,000 select peptides at a time using wells on plates. Our prime focus has been trying to identify new technologies that would allow us to smash through that barrier of limitation.
The STYX platform allowed us to make a quantum leap in terms of numbers and throughput. We can screen millions or even up to tens of millions of variants with this technology. There is not much else out there with similar capabilities. This has been a breakthrough technology product for us."

"Droplet Genomics has been a fantastic partner. We purchased Onyx, as well as Styx and are using their chips and reagents on a regular basis. Their instruments are cutting-edge and extremely user-friendly. But above all is their support and flexibility. Droplets Genomics are real experts in what they do and they provided us with invaluable consultations in the beginning. They are a trusted partner I would recommend to anyone in the field."

"Conducting large-scale atlasing projects on a DIY single-cell platform has presented us with a number of challenges, often more logistical than technical. Droplet Genomics has been instrumental to our research by supplying us with the tools we need to keep our projects moving forward during uncertain times. The quality and consistency of their devices gives us peace of mind and allows us to focus on the more pressing variables in our experiments. The products, services, and innovations they provide are an asset to the droplet microfluidics community."

"Our ONYX was installed in 2020 by the head of engineering at Droplet Genomics. Training provided at that time and the customer service we've experienced ever since has been nothing less than stellar. Whenever we've encountered an obstacle or have a question or suggestion and reached out to them, they've responded in such a timely manner that it's hard to know we are on separate continents. The Droplet Genomics team actively listens, and if there is something they can do to improve the operator's experience they prioritize actions accordingly. This high quality service for a product that operates as advertised is everything you could possibly want from a microfluidics company."

"For years, I'd been hoping that someone would make an instrument like the Styx. Droplet Genomics finally did and they did not disappoint. The compact and fully contained instrument performs as well as a traditional optical table based system. Furthermore, the robust hardware and very intuitive software, along with their excellent customer and technical support, erase a lot of the headaches involved with droplet microfluidics. Highly recommend for anyone using or planning to use droplet microfluidics in their workflow."
