Great product

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Droplet microfluidics

Great product and great service by the supplier. We keep coming back for more.

Good product for researcher

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Single cell encapsulation

I am using Pico-surf to stablize cell-laden droplets, it works very nice. the droplets are stable, and combining the use of pico-break, it's easy to break the emulsion and get the component out. the product is reliable and easy to use.

Good performance for our applications

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Droplet formation

Droplets generated when using Pico-Surf are monodispersed with sufficient stability for our current applications. Ready to use solution is benefitial as it streamlines our work.

Batch variance has to be solved

 

Average Rating 3.3

Application Area:

ddPCR

In general the product is good for droplet generation and ddPCR. However, we encountered issues with thermostability couple years ago due to (we suspect) batch variance from manufacturing. Once I bought 50 ml and realized that did not perform as well as it used to be. Hope this is fixed now.
