Abstract
The ability to add reagents into droplets is required in many microfluidic workflows. Picoinjection can address this need; however, it is unable to control the injection volume for each individual droplet. Here, we present an improved picoinjection method that can inject controlled volumes into individual droplets. We achieve this by adjusting the injection duration for each picoinjection event. This improved picoinjection method can be used to create complex microfluidic workflows that are able to control the biochemical composition of individual droplets.
