ABSTRACT
Multiomics studies at single-cell level require small volume manipulation, high throughput analysis, and multiplexed detection, characteristics that droplet microfluidics can tackle. However, the initial step of molecule bioseparation remains challenging. Here, we describe a unique magnetic device to trap and extract magnetic particles in sub-nanoliter droplets, for compartmentalisation of detection steps. Relying on electrodeposition of NiFe structures and microfluidic manipulation, the extraction of 1 µm diameter magnetic particles was achieved at high throughput (20 droplets per second) with an efficiency close to 100% in 450 pL droplets. The first demonstration of its adaptability to single-cell analysis is demonstrated with the extraction of mRNA. Using a purified nucleic acid solution, this unique magnetic configuration was able to reach a RNA extraction rate of 72%. This is the first demonstration of a physical separation in droplets at high throughput at single-cell scale.
