A Bilayer Lipid Membrane Is Formed at the Junction of Two Droplets

Caption

A bilayer lipid membrane is formed at the junction of two droplets. The phenomena occurring on it can be analyzed by the appropriate electrodes. The idea of constructing a microfluidic system for serial studies of cell membranes is presented by PhD student Tomasz Kamilski from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland
