1. A feedback control system for microfluidic droplet manipulation comprising:

  • providing a microfluidic system comprising at least one microfluidic channel containing at least one fluidic droplet;

    detecting at least one predetermined characteristics of said fluidic droplet at one or more positions within said microfluidic channel;

    assessing said predetermined characteristic using an image sensor; and

    transmitting said assessment from said image sensor to a feedback controller, wherein said feedback controller adjusts a flow rate of one or more fluids, thereby manipulating said fluidic droplet within said microfluidic channel.
