Sphere Fluidics Pico-Break™ 1 – Emulsion Breaking Solution
- Allows gentle breaking of picodroplets (by phase separation via chemically-induced coalescence).
- Compatible with picodroplets stabilised by Pico-Surf™ surfactants.
- Contains a dye to visually confirm recovery of sample material.
Introducing the Sphere Fluidics Pico-Break™ 1 – Emulsion Breaking Solution
Sphere Fluidics Pico-Break™ is used to used to gently reduce the stability of picodroplets in order to release cellular or molecular contents into an aqueous medium for subsequent processing.
Key Features
- A specialised chemical solution to promote consistent in-house manufacture of microfluidic biochips.
- Minimises non-specific binding interactions.
- Improves picodroplet performance and stability.
Key Benefits
Pico-Break™ 1 is used for the gentle release of picodroplet contents.
Why should I choose Pico-Break™ 1?
Allows for easy and reproducible phase separation of any emulsion stabilised with a Pico-Surf™ 1.
