A Facile Strategy for Visualizing and Modulating Droplet-Based Microfluidics.

ABSTRACT: In droplet-based microfluidics, visualizing and modulating of droplets is often prerequisite. In this paper, we report a facile strategy for visualizing and modulating high-throughput droplets in microfluidics. In the strategy, by modulating the sampling frequency of a flash light with the droplet frequency, we are able to map a real high frequency signal to a low frequency signal, which facilitates visualizing and feedback controlling. Meanwhile, because of not needing synchronization signals, the strategy can be directly implemented on any droplet-based microfluidic chips. The only cost of the strategy is an additional signal generator. Moreover, the strategy can catch droplets with frequency up to several kilohertz, which covers the range of most high-throughput droplet-based microfluid
