摘要
The high-throughput two-phase partition ability of microdroplet technology attracts attentions from many researchers in many fields. This paper reviews the main methods currently developed for microdroplet formation, including hydrodynamic method, pneumatic pressure method, optic-driven method, and the microfluidic techniques for microdroplet manipulation, such as splitting, coalescence, mixing, sorting, trapping and droplet position control.
