Recovery of phenotypically sorted cells using droplet-digital microfluidics

We introduce a droplet-digital microfluidic recovery system to collect single cells from pooled culture and transfer these droplets into a well-plate. The platform is shown for the recovery of single beads and rare antibody secreting cells. ...

Fluorescence-activated droplet sequencing (FAD-seq) directly provides sequences of screening hits in antibody discovery

Christoph Merten, Alexis Louis Autour

Droplet microfluidics has become a very powerful tool in high-throughput screening, including antibody discovery. Screens are usually carried out by physically sorting droplets hosting cells of the desired phenotype, breaking them, recovering the encapsula ...

Screening for drivers of SARS-CoV-2 uptake

Christoph Merten, Alexis Louis Autour

Genetic and cellular drivers of the cellular uptake of SARS-CoV-2 can be screened at high throughput via droplet microfluidics and size-exclusion methods for the analysis of the formation of fusions between cells expressing the virus's spike protein and ce ...

Design and construction of a microfluidics workstation for high-throughput multi-wavelength fluorescence and transmittance activated droplet analysis and sorting

Christoph Merten, Jatin Panwar, Alexis Louis Autour

Droplet microfluidics has revolutionized quantitative high-throughput bioassays and screening, especially in the field of single-cell analysis where applications include cell characterization, antibody discovery and directed evolution. However, droplet mic ...
