Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for forming stable droplets as part of an emulsion. The emulsion may be, for example, formed by bringing an aqueous phase in contact with an oil phase at a droplet generation junction of a droplet generator. Droplets of the present disclosure may be used for holding compositions for various uses.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for generating a plurality of droplets as part of an emulsion, comprising:\n (a) in a droplet generator, (i) flowing an oil phase comprising one or more compositions present in an amount of at least one microgram along a first channel and (ii) flowing an aqueous phase along a second channel, towards a droplet generation junction of said first channel and said second channel; (b) at said droplet generation junction, bringing said aqueous phase in contact with said oil phase and a surfactant, to generate said emulsion comprising a plurality of droplets, wherein a droplet of said plurality of droplets comprises said one or more compositions from said oil phase, and wherein said droplet has a size less than or equal to about 1 micrometer; and (c) collecting said plurality of droplets.
