Simultaneous Measurement of Viscosity and Optical Density of Bacterial Growth and Death in a Microdroplet

Simultaneous Measurement of Viscosity and Optical Density of Bacterial Growth and Death in a Microdroplet

Herein, we describe a novel method for the assessment of droplet viscosity moving inside microfluidic channels. The method allows for the monitoring of the rate of the continuous growth of bacterial culture. It is based on the analysis of the hydrodynamic resistance of a droplet that is present in a...
