Abstract

A droplet generating apparatus, system, and method are disclosed. Based on a relative vibration between a micro-pipe and a container containing a second liquid, a first liquid flowing out from an outlet end of the micro-pipe can be detached from the micro-pipe by a fluid shear force of the second liquid to form droplets in the second liquid. Multitudinous quantitative and uniform droplets can be generated precisely and accurately in the present disclosure.
