Creative Biolabs' team offers one-stop services, seamlessly integrating processes involving precision fluid handling equipment, advanced imaging systems, and temperature control modules.

Service Content

We specialize in process optimization through professional systematic testing and analysis of variables such as flow rates, pressure differentials, surfactant concentrations, and temperature profiles. We achieve precise control over emulsions, including nanoscale to microscale droplet sizes, narrow size distributions with low coefficients of variation, and customizable morphologies ranging from single to double and multiple emulsions.

Services	Descriptions
Single Emulsion	We generate monodisperse emulsions with uniform size and high batch-to-batch reproducibility, supporting workflows from early screening to process scale-up verification. Single emulsions are ideal for encapsulation and delivery studies of small molecules, proteins, peptides, nanoparticles, and dyes, and they also serve as reliable templates for microsphere/microcapsule formation.
Double Emulsion	Double emulsions enable precise control over shell thickness and core volume fraction, supporting "water-in-oil-in-water" or "oil-in-water-in-oil" architectures for protected loading. Using cascaded flow-focusing and coaxial capillary designs, we achieve coupled core–shell control and compatibility with temperature, pH, and ionic-strength–triggered release strategies.
Multiple Emulsion	Multiple emulsions provide higher-order spatial segregation for sequential release, reaction compartmentalization, barcoded reagent aliquoting, and complex co-delivery scenarios. Through cascaded microchannel layouts and triple/quadruple coaxial capillary designs, we program "core–shell–core" or multi-core systems so different actives can be stored without cross-interference and released on demand within a single micro-carrier.

For clients scaling to production, we offer scale-up engineering services, developing parallelized chip architectures and continuous-flow systems that maintain laboratory-scale precision while significantly increasing output.

Beyond these technical services, we also provide comprehensive emulsion characterization. Leveraging advanced technologies such as dynamic light scattering, confocal microscopy, and high-speed imaging, we deliver detailed, all-encompassing analytical reports on the prepared emulsions along with practical usage recommendations.

Service Process

Our streamlined service process covers everything from conceptual design to manufacturing. We begin with a consultation to understand your specific emulsion requirements, performance standards, and application scenarios.

Once the project commences, our engineering team will confirm the initial chip design and experimental protocols with you, making ongoing refinements and optimizations with your full involvement.
We then proceed to prototype fabrication and preliminary testing, generating initial proof-of-concept data to verify whether the products designed under our experimental scheme meet your standards.
Our most competitive edge lies in systematic optimization: we methodically adjust various parameters to ensure the resulting emulsion properties fully align with your targets.
We provide regular progress reports, enabling you to review and confirm that designs and experimental methods meet your expectations at key production milestones.
Once the optimal conditions for emulsion performance are identified, we thoroughly document all key parameters and corresponding production processes, ultimately integrating them into a manufacturing SOP to ensure consistent, controlled emulsion quality.
Furthermore, if you require large-scale production later on, we have the necessary production lines to scale up output and meet your volume needs.
Next, we will provide you with complete details on the emulsion's performance and usage guidelines, all to ensure smooth, trouble-free operations once you receive the emulsion.

Applications

Our microfluidic emulsion synthesis services enable breakthrough innovations across multiple industries. In the pharmaceutical field, for example, we focus on developing and manufacturing precise drug delivery systems—including technologies such as sustained-release nanoparticles and targeted microcarriers. These emulsions can both enhance the therapeutic effect of drugs and reduce their side effects.

In the cosmetics and personal care sector, our technology supports the preparation of stable nanoemulsions, which effectively improve the absorption rate and bioavailability of active ingredients, helping you create higher-quality skincare and beauty products.
In terms of materials science applications, the monodisperse emulsions developed with the support of our technology can precisely regulate the performance characteristics of various advanced materials, expanding the application scenarios of these materials.
In food science, we offer R&D services for innovative nutrient encapsulation systems, leveraging controlled release technologies to enhance nutritional efficacy, upgrade flavor profiles, and ensure the stability of preservatives.
In academic and industrial research, our services assist researchers in deepening their understanding and study of emulsions. They support the development of novel emulsion-based technologies across the fields of chemistry, biology, and materials science.

A modular and cost-effective droplet microfluidic device for controlled emulsion production

The report introduced a modular and cost-effective droplet microfluidic device for the controlled production of complex emulsions, including oil and aqueous single emulsions, and double emulsions with varying numbers of encapsulated droplets. The droplet sizes can be precisely controlled by easily replacing flat needles and adjusting the needle position within an axially accelerated co-flow field. The low-cost and user-friendly nature of the device greatly facilitates the widespread adoption and utilization of droplet microfluidics.
