Abstract

Fluorescence-activated droplet sorting is an important tool for droplet microfluidic workflows, but published approaches are unable to surpass throughputs of a few kilohertz. We present a new geometry that replaces the hard divider separating the outlets with a gapped divider, allowing sorting over ten times faster.
