Enhancing Protease Activity Assay in Droplet-Based Microfluidics Using a Biomolecule Concentrator

We introduce an integrated microfluidic device consisting of a biomolecule concentrator and a microdroplet generator, which enhances the limited sensitivity of low-abundance enzyme assays by concentrating biomolecules before encapsulating them into droplet microreactors. We used this platform to det...
