Abstract

We present an encoded amphiphilic microcarrier including microwell of femtoliter volume and microfluidic system for simultaneous dispensing quantified femtoliter liquid on amphiphilic microcarrier. The encoded amphiphilic microcar-rier is composed of hydrophobic hexagonal outer structure and hydrophilic inner structure. We demonstrated fabrication and assembly of encoded amphiphilic microcarriers in a microfluidic device. Femtoliter aqueous volume was simultaneously loaded on encoded amphiphilic microcarriers by serial loading of aqueous liquid solution and oil solution. We controlled femtoscale dispensing volume by regulating microwell's diameter and depth. This technique would be applicable to high-throughput multiplexed assay based on suspension-based assay with quantified liquid dispensing on a microcar-rier in a microfluidic environment.
