Scientists develop cell-analysis method much faster than robotic workstations

Researchers at the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences have collaborated with colleagues from other research institutions and created a microfluidic system for ultra-high-performance screening in double emulsion droplets. This technique can be used when studying the unique properties of single living cells, and is 30,000 times more productive than robotic workstations. At the same time, it greatly simplifies the work of researchers involved in determining the functionality of biological objects for the creation of biomedicines. The results of this research were published in the PNAS journal.
