Aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) droplets have recently taken the spotlight in a variety of biological applications due to their ability to model biophysical phenomena in cells. Some fields in which ATPS have demonstrated utility in are high-throughput droplet generation, cell encapsulation and release, cell patterning, and cancer spheroid formation. However, ATPS fluids typically have low interfacial tension, making the generation of ATPS droplets via microfluidics a difficult task.

There have been many different attempts made to generate ATPS droplets with microfluidics, however, there are still major gaps in the understanding of the formation of these droplets. Researchers in this study presented new observations that may provide better insights into ATPS droplets that may aid in utilizing them in various biological procedures, such as biomarker detection, early disease diagnosis, and more.
