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 8):
A device for producing droplets of a first liquid in a second liquid, the device comprising:\n a) two first channels, each having a first depth, a first width, a first proximal end, and a first distal end; and b) two second channels each having a second depth, a second width, a second proximal end, and a second distal end, wherein each of the second distal ends intersects one of the first channels between the first proximal and first distal ends, and wherein one of the second channels traverses but does not intersect at least one first channel; c) a plurality of droplet formation regions, wherein each 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 each droplet formation region is connected to one of the first distal ends; wherein the two first channels and the droplet formation regions are configured to produce droplets of the first liquid in the second liquid.
