Zusammenfassung:The methods described herein, referred to as particle-templated emulsification (PTE), provide an improved approach for generating a monodisperse emulsion that encapsulates target particles of interest without requiring the use of a microfluidic device. Monodisperse droplets may be effectively obtained by using monodisperse particles to template the formation of droplets, which can include, e.g., monodisperse single-emulsion droplets, multiple-emulsion droplets, or Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUV), without destroying the integrity of the droplets.
