Wall-free droplet microfluidics for probing biological processes by high-brilliance X-ray scattering techniques

Marinaro, G. LU ; Graceffa, R. and Riekel, C. (2022) In Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences 9.
Abstract

Here we review probing biological processes initiated by the deposition of droplets on surfaces by micro- and nanobeam X-ray scattering techniques using synchrotron radiation and X-ray free-electron laser sources. We review probing droplet evaporation on superhydrophobic surfaces and reactions with substrates, basics of droplets deposition and flow simulations, droplet deposition techniques and practical experience at a synchrotron beamline. Selected applications with biological relevance will be reviewed and perspectives for the latest generation of high-brilliance X-ray sources discussed.
