Abstract :
Microdroplet operations based on spontaneous nanodroplet formation (spontaneous emulsification) seem feasible for the selective enrichment and separation. In a recent paper, the enrichment characteristics have been verified. In this paper, selectivity of the method is discussed, and its application to biological enrichment / separation is demonstrated.
