What is the diameter of each channel in the SeekOne DD chip?

2026-06-18

Answer:
The SeekOne DD chip contains multiple microfluidic channels with distinct diameters designed for different components of the system:

  • The cell channel has a diameter of approximately 60 μm. 
  • The gel bead channel has a diameter of approximately 50 μm. 
  • The carrier oil channel has a larger diameter of approximately 100 μm. 

The gel beads used in the system have a diameter of approximately 50 μm and exhibit a certain degree of elasticity. This allows them to deform slightly and pass through the gel bead channel, enabling dense and continuous loading within the microfluidic pathway.

This design ensures efficient co-encapsulation of cells and gel beads while maintaining stable droplet generation.
