N2 - We present a reliable method of droplet synchronization in the microfluidic channel. Our approach does not need any active source (e.g., electric field) which can affect the samples in the droplets during the synchronization process. Moreover, the large quantity of droplets (droplet train) can be synchronized at the same time in a high-throughput manner. The droplet synchronization is achieved by the cross flow of the carrier oil due to the pressure difference between top and bottom channels.
