High-Purity Fluorosurfactants for Droplet Microfluidics and Molecular Biology
Fluorosurfactants are specialized molecules that reduce interfacial tension between immiscible fluids—typically oil and water—to stabilize emulsions in droplet-based systems. In droplet microfluidics, they are critical for maintaining the integrity of water-in-oil droplets during thermal cycling, mechanical agitation, and molecular reactions.
These non-ionic fluorosurfactants are developed specifically for use in:
- Emulsion PCR (ePCR)
- Droplet-based single-cell and molecular assays
- Encapsulation of sensitive biological materials such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and live cells
Key product advantages:
- High purity and batch-to-batch reproducibility
- Compatible with a wide range of enzymatic and biological systems
- Stable droplet formation under rigorous conditions
- Custom chemical modifications and packaging available
- Expert technical and scientific support for troubleshooting and optimization
Ideal for researchers demanding high-performance surfactants for their microfluidic workflows, these reagents are a reliable foundation for achieving consistent, high-quality results.
When your experiments rely on precision droplets, don’t compromise on surfactant quality.

FAQs
What are fluorosurfactants used for?
Fluorosurfactants are commonly used to stabilize water-in-oil emulsions in droplet-based microfluidics, emulsion PCR (ePCR), and single-cell encapsulation workflows. They reduce interfacial tension, allowing uniform droplet formation in systems that involve sensitive biological materials such as DNA, RNA, cells, and proteins.
These high-purity surfactants are essential for applications that require:
-
Stable emulsions under thermal cycling
-
Enzymatic compatibility
-
Reproducibility across batches
What oils are used in microfluidics?
In droplet microfluidics, fluorinated oils such as HFE7500 and FC40 are widely used as continuous phases. These oils provide chemical stability, low toxicity, and are well-suited for biological applications.
Our fluorosurfactants are pre-formulated in both HFE7500 and FC40 for convenience, with options like:
-
2 wt% or 5 wt% surfactant concentrations
-
Multiple packaging volumes for scaling from research to production
What are the new materials for microfluidics in biology?
Newer materials in biological microfluidics include fluorosurfactants, hydrogels, and custom polymers that support more complex workflows like:
-
Single-cell RNA sequencing
-
3D cell encapsulation
-
Droplet-based diagnostics
Fluorosurfactants in particular have become essential for biocompatible droplet formation without disrupting enzymes or fragile biological systems.
