Droplet-based microfluidic system for individual Caenorhabditis elegans assay

A droplet-based microfluidic system integrating a droplet generator and a droplet trap array is described for encapsulating individual Caenorhabditis elegans into a parallel series of droplets, enabling characterization of the worm behavior in response to neurotoxin at single-animal resolution.
