Abstract Synopsis

  • The article introduces PICS, a microfluidic platform that enables precise pairing, merging, and sorting of droplets containing specific cells to study cell interactions more effectively than traditional random methods.
  • PICS uses fluorescence detection and electrocoalescence to accurately select target cell pairs, achieving high purity and recovery rates, and allows for extended coculture experiments with maintained cell viability.
  • This technology simplifies downstream processes by physically isolating desired cell pairs, reducing contamination, and supporting multistep assays, making it a versatile tool for high-throughput cell interaction studies.]
