The surface treatment Fluo-ST2 is a clear, low viscosity, low surface tension solution of a fluorosilane polymer carried in a hydrofluoroether solvent. The coating covalently bonds to a variety of surfaces (glass, PDMS, etc…) and dries in a thin film with excellent hydrophobic properties. It allows a better performance and stability of aqueous droplets formed in fluorinated oils.

Key Features:

• Droplet performance and stability improvement
• Easy-to-use surface treatment.
  
• Reproducibility of microfluidic experiments
