Encapsulated Cell Dynamics in Droplet Microfluidic Devices with Sheath Flow

Encapsulated Cell Dynamics in Droplet Microfluidic Devices with Sheath Flow

In this paper we study the dynamics of single cells encapsulated in water-in-oil emulsions in a microchannel. The flow field of a microfluidic channel is coupled to the internal flow field of a droplet through viscous traction at the interface, resulting in a rotational flow field inside the droplet...
