Biocompatible fluorinated oils
Emulseo fluorinated oils are biocompatible fluorocarbon-based continuous phases designed for microfluidic droplet systems. They are chemically inert, support gas exchange, and are widely used in biological applications. These oils are typically used to dilute Emulseo surfactants for droplet generation and to ensure stable, reproducible experimental conditions.
Available formulations:
-
Surfactant-oil formulations: diluted between 1% and 5%, available in 10 mL, 20 mL, and 50 mL volumes
-
Neat oils: available on request, without surfactant
-
Custom formulations: tailored solutions to meet specific experimental requirements
