Dolomite is pushing the boundaries of microfluidic technology through constant development of both products and technologies.
Please find below a list of our latest application notes:
The formation of droplets of oil-in-water or water-in-oil has a range of uses in science and industry. Monodispersity, or size consistency, is the key to making droplet microfluidics a powerful tool for conducting accurate and repeatable experiments.

Characterisation of Droplet Junction Chip with hexadecane and water
Water-in-oil and oil-in-water microdroplets benefit a broad range of applications including compartmentalised chemistry and high throughput experimentations.
 |
|
This application note describes how Dolomite's Droplet Junction Chips can be used to generate water droplets in a hexadecane oil carrier stream. By controlling the pressure of the oil and water input reservoir, different flow regimes and droplet sizes were observed.

This application note describes the generation of oil droplets (200µm diameter) which contain smaller water droplets (50µm diameter) using Droplet Junction Chips. A double emulsion of oil-in-water-in-oil is produced as a result.
 |
|
Double emulsions have potential uses in the pharmaceutical and food industries for controlled release of chemicals trapped in the inner droplet.

Microfluidic chips enable the production of foams with monodispersed gas bubbles. Monodispersed foams have consistent bubble size and more consistent characteristics.
 |
|
This application note describes how the Mitos P-Pump can be used in combination with the Droplet Junction Chip to produce monodispersed gas bubbles.
