However,	healthcare	costs	are	 increasing	and	recently	medicine	costs	have	become	an	increasingly	large	expense.	The	reason	is	that	developing	new	medicine	is	risky	and	costly.	Here	we	describe	technologies	to	address	high	costs	(and	slow)	traditional	high	throughput	screening.	In	particular	we	focus	on	creating	and	screening	biological	libraries,	which	is	central	for	Denmark	being	one	of	the	world	leaders	of	biotech	for	medicine	and	protein	engineering.	The	technology	described	is	 based	 on	 microfluidics	 droplets.	 These	 miniaturized	 reaction	 vessels	 (about	 50pL	 and	 upwards)	 are	generated	 at	 1000	 fold	 higher	 speed	 than	 pipetting	 robots	 operates	 microtiter	 plates	 (current	 high	throughput	 screening	 system).	 Application	 areas	 that	 we	 currently	 are	 working	 with	 is	 isolation	 of	therapeutic	 antibodies	 (together	 with	 Symphogen	 A/S),	 single	 cells	 transcriptomics	 (together	 with	 Vet),	isolation	of	high	protein	producing	cells	for	isolation	of	production	cell	lines	(together	with	Symphogen	A/S	and	 DTU	 Food	 respectively)	 and	 isolation	 of	 bacteria	mutants	 controlling	 the	 pH	 of	 yoghurt.	 Assays	 not	possible	in	FACS	machines	are	possible	using	the	droplet	technology.		Droplet	technology	is	based	on	a	droplet	maker	that	makes	water	droplets	in	oils	at	a	speed	of	2-20kHz	(up	to	20000	droplets	per	second).	In	this	chips,	cells	and	detection	regents	is	mixed	and	encapsulated.		After	a	brief	incubation	off	chip,	droplets	are	reintroduced	into	a	sorting	chip	placed	in	a	fluorescent	microscope.	If	the	cell	has	a	desired	function,	a	 fluorescent	signal	can	be	detected	from	the	droplet	and	then	sorted	by	pushing	 the	 droplet	 into	 another	 channel	 than	 the	waste.	 	 The	 sorting	 is	 done	 at	 about	 1000	 drops	 per	second.		Droplet	maker	 Droplet	sorter	Electrodes	From	droplet	maker	Op2cs	Waste	Interes2ng	hits	Reagents	Cells	Oil	Oil	Sustain DTU Abstract: Q-4
