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 first distal end; 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; and c) a droplet formation region, wherein the droplet formation region comprises a shelf region having a third depth and a third width, and a step region having a fourth depth, wherein the shelf 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, wherein the shelf region is disposed between the first distal end and the step region, wherein the first channel and droplet formation region are configured to produce droplets of the first liquid in the second liquid.
