Application note – Emulseo x Micronit
We are excited to share the outcome of our collaboration with our partner Micronit.
In this study, we combined Emulseo’s products (FluoSurf™-O / Fluo-Oil™- 7500 and Fluo-ST3™) with Micronit’s glass microfluidic chips to achieve reliable and reproducible droplet generation.
Two chip types were tested:
– hydrophobic pre-coated chips
– untreated chips coated with our Fluo-ST3™ surface treatment
The result? Stable, monodisperse droplets, ideal for demanding applications such as ddPCR, single-cell analysis, or high-throughput screening.

Which formulation for your application?
You want to perform a droplet-based microfluidic experiment, but you don’t know which ones of our products would be best?
The table below is here to help and guide you through the choice of the most adapted formulation. It presents combinations between some of the most common applications and different Emulseo’s formulations.
Keep in mind: these are general recommendations to guide you, but each experiment is unique!
Products description / FLUO-ST3
Fluo-ST3 is a fluorophilic/hydrophobic surface treatment composed of a fluoroalkylsilane dissolved in a perfluorinated polyether solvent. Fluo-ST3 is a clear solution with low viscosity and low interfacial tension. After treatment, a uniform layer is covalently attached to the treated surfaces, making the walls of the
microfluidic channels both hydrophobic and fluorophilic. This treatment allows a better generation and stability of droplets in fluorinated oils. Fluo-ST3 is especially adapted for use with Emulseo’s surfactants and oils.
Products description – FSS / FSO
FluoSurf™-S and FluoSurf™-O are high-performance fluorinated surfactants designed and optimized to stabilize aqueous droplets in fluorinated oils for a wide range of biotechnological applications. They are especially adapted for droplet-based microfluidic experiments such as droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR).
This document presents the results of an experimental study comparing the performance of FluoSurf™-S and FluoSurf™-O for droplet stability along thermocycling.
Product benefits – Biocompatibility
FluoSurf™-O, FluoSurf™-C & FluoSurf™-S are biocompatible and are specially designed to stabilize droplets containing biological entities. This document presents the results of cytotoxicity assays carried out on formulations of FluoSurf™-O, FluoSurf™-C and FluoSurf™-S diluted in HFE 7500 fluorinated oil.
