1. Introduction and Backgrounds
As I mention on introduction, our goal is
As single cell analysis and cultivation, we

droplets. In our lab, we have employed a

ultimately single cell level of analysis and
cultivation. For the generation of droplets, the
device will consist of oil on continuous phase
and PPys with cells. The chip will generate
droplets containing cell. Because of getting
empty droplets is inevitable. We will sort only
droplets that contain cell which is having
fluorescence molecule. We will spot the signal
of droplet from downstream following droplet
generation. If the droplet has the cell, the

7. Budget
Our lab already has most of set up for
droplet sorter. But we would connect the CO2
irradiator. As I remember the prof. Wooh said
we can buy commercial product which has
beam of specific power.
Totally we would buy the CO2 laser and
composition for this.
