Abstract:
Devices, systems, and their methods of use, for generating droplets are provided. One or more geometric parameters of a microfluidic channel can be selected to generate droplets of a desired and predictable droplet size.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for producing droplets of a first liquid in a second liquid, the device comprising:\n a) a first channel having a first depth, a first width, a first proximal end, and a plurality of first distal ends; b) a second channel having a second depth, a second width, a second proximal end, and a second distal end, wherein the second channel intersects the first channel between the first proximal and first distal ends; c) a plurality of droplet formation regions in fluid communication with the plurality of first distal ends, wherein the droplet formation region is configured to allow the first liquid to expand in at least one dimension and has at least one inlet and at least one outlet; and d) a collection reservoir configured to collect a population of droplets formed in the plurality of droplet formation regions, wherein the collection reservoir is fluidically connected to the plurality of droplet formation regions, wherein the first channel and droplet formation regions are configured to produce droplets of the first liquid in the second liquid.
