Separation of biomolecules in ultra-low volume droplets

Microfluidic devices offer a new way to speed up drug screening and toxicity tests, but some of the basic processes such as purification and separation are difficult to implement in these tiny devices. Petra Dittrich and Mario Saucedo-Espinosa took up the challenge and invented in-droplet electrophoresis.
