Functions
Here’s everything we can do with droplets, and the hardware that does it
1. Generate & encapsulate
Generate droplets with CVs between 5-10% in the ∼ 50- 200μm droplet diameter range. Primarily water in oil, but other aqueous media also works for sample encapsulation. Along with samples, you can encapsulate reagents, nutrients etc. needed for your workflow.

2. Image & detect
Image droplets with a camera to visualize encapsulated objects under 20x magnification at up to 1000 droplet per second, and then analyze with our embedded object classification algorithm to detect and classify cells.

A modular instrumentation platform for droplet biotechnology
If you noticed the icons, good job - those are our modules :)
We can configure them to match your application.
Pumping
Dual-channel pressure-driven pump. Can be outfitted with internal battery.
Details coming soon...
Encapsulation
Droplet generator module. Can automatically generate droplets of defined size.
Imaging
Camera module for imaging droplets with encapsulated objects, e.g. cells.
Coming soon
Droplet incubator module...
Coming soon
Droplet sorter module...
How is CogniFlow better?
Faster results
1000 droplets can be generated per second. The same amount takes minutes with a pipetting robot.
In cell libary preparation workflows, droplets can offer 3-6x faster results than pipetting robots.
Low energy
Our cell encapsulation and detection method consumes only 25W, which is about 10x less than with a pipetting robot.
Combined with the compact size of the platform, you can easily carry the CogniFlow® to where it’s used.
Unlimited samples
There is no limit to the number of droplets, you can generate as many as you want.
Our system can generate 1000 droplets/second, combining different cells and reagents (e.g. nutrients and yeast cells).
Inline automation
Our system can integrate inline with up- and downstream processes and third-party instruments.
We can also develop a custom solution taking into account your existing workflow.
Low cost
Our instrument costs 3-5x less than comparable solutions.
Droplets use 10-100x less reagent than pipetting robots or manual workflows.
