"We propose an integrated, modular system for automated aqueous droplet generation with high monodispersity. The system provides dynamic feedback control of droplet size and input pressure."
In the paper, we report on the assembly and the underlying working principle, as well as an in-depth experimental evaluation of the performance of the proof-of-concept prototype in aqueous droplet generation. Evaluation was performed on a modular as well as on a system level.
