Leveraging Interactions in Microfluidic Droplets for Enhanced Biotechnology Screens
Microfluidic droplet screens serve as an innovative platform for high-throughput biotechnology, enabling significant advancements in discovery, product optimization, and analysis. This review sheds light on the emerging trend of interaction assays in microfluidic droplets, underscoring the unique suitability of droplets for these applications. Encompassing a diverse range of biological entities such as antibodies, enzymes, DNA, RNA, various microbial and mammalian cell types, drugs, and other molecules, these assays demonstrate their versatility and scope. Recent methodological breakthroughs have escalated these screens to novel scales of bioanalysis and biotechnological product design. Moreover, we highlight pioneering advancements that extend droplet-based screens into new domains: cargo delivery within human bodies, application of synthetic gene circuits in natural environments, 3D-printing, and the development of droplet structures responsive to environmental signals. The potential of this field is profound and only set to increase.
