This talk will describe some uses of droplet microfluidics for biomedical and biotechnological applications. I will describe a next generation form of droplet digital microfluidics. The concept is based on separately detecting the number of positive drops, which is typically used as a super sensitive measure of concentration, and the contents of those drops. This extends the sensitivity of ddPCR to enable identification of many other targets simultaneously. I will also describe the use of microfluidics in creating improved delivery structures for nanomedicines.
