Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiphase microfluidics utilize droplets to compartmentalize biological and biochemical assays. Over the last 10 years, droplet microfluidic technologies have enabled a variety of high-throughput methods including digital PCR, single cell genomics, directed evolution, immunology, and mass spectrometry. This special issue of Micromachines focuses on technological advances in multiphase microfluidics which enables high throughput biology, following the theme of novel tools driving novel applications. We welcome all categories of submissions, including perspectives, critical review, short technological communications, and original research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
