Hunting down the dominating subclone of cancer stem cells as a potential new therapeutic target in multiple myeloma: An artificial intelligence perspective

Figure 2 Processing of single-cell droplets. A: A single-cell in an oil droplet travels to a trapping module of the 10-nl reactor (green, in inset). Other cells are forced to bypass to the next unit; B: FEOET push the droplet (with a cell) past the open valve (orange bar), which closes, locking the droplet into the 10-nl ring with RT/RT-PCR master mix (green); and C: The ring’s peristaltic pump breaks the droplet to mix the cell with master-mix. When the reaction is finished, oil (blue) pushes the product (cDNA) out of the ring in the form of a droplet (10-nL) for downstream molecular analysis (Refer to[17] for details).
