Inkjet-based microfluidic encapsulation to form unilamellar vesicles. (A) Diagram of the fluid jet and vortex ring deforming a planar lipid bilayer. (B) High-speed image sequence of the vesicle formation process. Conditions used to form vesicles are 20 pulses of a 35 V trapezoidal signal. A 200 mOsm sucrose solution is used in the inkjet and surrounding droplet to make a vesicle of 100% sucrose which is formed into a solution of 200 mOsm glucose. Scale bar represents 100 µm.
