PTE allows rapid and facile production of monodispersed emulsions from microliter to milliliter scales. (a) Images PTE emulsions of different total volume. The samples comprise PAA particles with 0.5% Triton suspended in 1.25 volume of HFE oil with 2% (20 μL) or 5% (200 μL and 2 mL) fluorosurfactant. All emulsions, independent of total volume, are vortexed for 30 s to generate the droplets. (b) Histograms of the droplet size distribution for the 200 μL and 2 mL emulsions, demonstrating equivalent monodispersity. (c) Comparison of droplet generation time with PTE to microfluidics for a typical droplet generation rate of 1 kHz.
