Microfluidics - Surfactants and Beads - RAN Biotech - Beverly, MA

Smarter surfactants and gel beads.

Stronger science.

Your findings are as effective as the tools you use. For biologists working with droplet microfluidics, barcode gel beads and droplet biology (inc. ddPCR), that means trusting rare materials and key experiments to the quality of your fluorosurfactants and beads. Low-performing chemicals cost time. And maybe more.

RAN Biotech develops fluorosurfactants, gel beads and microfluidic kits specifically for use by the most rigorous researchers. We’ve worked for years in conversation with our buyers to achieve biocompatibility, stability and reproducibility that meets the highest standards. Because success in your lab begins in ours.

***NEW***

RAN Biotech is releasing alternatives to Novec (HFE) and Fluorinert (FC) oils! Inquire with us below about our proprietary FO oil series for microfluidic device priming, droplet generation and droplet stabilization (FO-001; FO-101; and FO-111)

RAN Biotech’s non-ionic surfactants are optimized for droplet generation and manipulation; they’re ideal for emulsion PCR and droplet microfluidics research applications. If your goal is reproducibility, high purity and chemical and biological compatibility, purchase a surfactant sample and discover the difference for yourself.

Introducing a Chip-Free Engineered Droplet Generation kit

Kits for high throughput biology in droplets without the need for a chip-based setup

Spend less time optimizing your materials and microfluidic setup. Spend more time getting results.

The materials in our kits are optimized to work in your microfluidics experiments – because they’re optimized to work with one another and, in some cases, without a chip. Our Chip-Free Engineered Droplet Generation kit (NoChipDrop-Kit1) enables high throughput biology without the need for a microfluidic setup.

Custom Microfluidic Kits; Surface Coating and Emulsion Breaking Oils

RAN Biotech scientists innovate in the lab – and iterate for customers like you. Your unique needs and customized requests might just be our next great insight.

For example if you are working on reversed emulsions (water-in-oil droplets), RAN Biotech has just the right oil for breaking that emulsion; asks us about the 101-AqueousRecovery oil. And if you would like to render your surfaces, including microfluidic channels, hydrophobic and fluorophilic, ask us about the 909-FluoroCoat oil. Furthermore on request, we can create custom materials and solutions for use in your lab.
