Smart Emulsifier: High-Performance Droplet Generation Oil for Microfluidics

A Cost-Effective Mineral Oil Alternative to Fluorinated Systems

 

Smart Emulsifier is a proprietary, research-grade droplet generation oil developed by Smart MCs. Engineered specifically for microfluidic applications, it provides a stable, low-cost alternative to expensive fluorinated oils while maintaining consistent monodispersity and biocompatibility in cell-based and biomaterial workflows.

 

Description

Why use Smart Emulsifier?

While fluorinated oils are common, their high cost often limits their use in routine lab work or large-scale screening. Smart Emulsifier bridges the gap, offering professional-grade performance without the financial overhead.

  • Significant Cost Savings: Reduce the high cost associated with fluorinated systems.
  • Superior Droplet Stability: Engineered to prevent droplet merging (coalescence) during generation and long-term incubation.
  • Validated Biocompatibility: Optimised for sensitive cell-based assays, single-cell encapsulation, and complex hydrogel systems.
  • Ready-to-Use: A stable, pre-formulated oil and surfactant system that removes the need for manual mixing or complex oil-phase optimisation.

Technical Performance

Smart Emulsifier is balanced for consistent performance across various flow conditions and standard microfluidic device geometries. It is an ideal continuous phase for creating stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.

Key Performance Metrics:

  • Uniform Monodispersity: Achieve precise, consistent droplet size distributions.
  • Device Compatibility: Compatible with standard PDMS, glass, and thermoplastic microfluidic chips.

Applications

From routine microsphere production to complex 3D cell models, Smart Emulsifier supports a wide range of laboratory workflows:

  • Advanced Biomaterials: Optimised for hydrogel droplet formation, including GelMA and AlgMA systems.
  • Drug Discovery: High-stability emulsions for reliable droplet-based screening assays.

Synthetic Biology: Precise compartmentalisation for cell-free expression and metabolic engineering.
