Microdroplets: Fusion and Fission Control of Picoliter‐Sized Microdroplets for Changing the Solution Concentration of Microreactors (Small 21/2010)

The cover image illustrates how the solution concentration of a picoliter-sized water-in-oil (w/o) microdroplet is changed by the electrofusion and hydrodynamic fission of w/o microdroplets in a microfl uidic system. This system enables the analyses of the conformational dynamics of biomacromolecules accompanied by buffer solution concentration changes in a picoliter-sized space. For more information, please read the Communication “Fusion and Fission Control of Picoliter-Sized Microdroplets for Changing the Solution Concentration of Microreactors” by S. Takeuchi and co-workers, beginning on page 2374.
