Abstract
A centrifuge tube droplet generator includes a centrifugally generated droplet system which accommodates a sample volume of below 20 microliters and below. The system has virtually no dead volume, is simple and inexpensive and can therefore be realized in a disposable unit. The system can be tailored to fit the format of standard desktop centrifuges which are ubiquitous in biological laboratories.
