Droplet-Based Immunosensor for Simultaneous Immunoassays of Multiplex Histidine-Tagged Proteins.

This paper presents a droplet-based immunoassay chip allowing each droplet to be positioned in a passive droplet-positioning cavern under continuous flow. In addition, the chip surface can immobilize any kind of histidine-tagged capture agents for performing simultaneous multiplex immunoassays. Distinct families of monodispersed droplets were generated since a diaphragm, which is a thin elastomeric flap film suspended from the top of the main channel, forms a double T junction for shearing the aqueous liquids by the carrier flow.
