Main advantages:

• Target-size micro- and nanodrops, with negligible size deviation, are obtained in just one step, with no external excitation source, and without additional purification steps.

• Flow Focusing produces smaller drops than most other technologies, where drop size is determined by the nozzle dimension.

• Flow Focusing is compatible with multiple fluid combinations (liquid-liquid, liquid-gas) with different physical-chemical properties (gas, simple liquids, complex solutions, emulsions, suspensions, etc).

• This technology is suitable for particle design, involving freely-chosen morphology, surface treatment and composition: homogeneous particles, two-phase capsules or hollow capsules.

• Due to the special flow geometry, the drop generating fluid is scarcely stressed; therefore Flow Focusing is remarkably adequate for using it with labile compounds solutions (proteins, cells and similar).

• High input energy system with a high frequency uniform drop production.

• FF topology can be consistently and robustly scaled up into two-dimensional arrays for mass-production of drops.
