The project relies on the Centre, and will build up a set of microfluidic facilities for the Centre including a microfluidic device fabrication workstation, a fluorescence detection rig, and microdroplet sorting capability. This can be used for microdroplets generation, materials synthesis, cell encapsulation, fluorescence sorting, etc.

The project will form a unique single-cell sequencing method based on microfluidic technology, the preparation technology of functional medical microspheres, and a prototype that realizes the integration of high-throughput microfluidic screening, etc., transiting from a research-scale microfluidic technology to industrial-scale manufacturing and production, and will cooperate with local companies in the fields of biomaterials, single-cell analysis, drug discovery and tissue engineering to establish a formal biotechnology business entity with an aim to use the research results for commercial purposes.
