We describe a droplet microfluidics method to screen for multiple mutations of a same oncogene in a single experiment using passive droplet fusion. Genomic DNA from H1573 cell-line was screened for the presence of the six common mutations of the KRAS oncogene as well as wild-type sequences with a detection efficiency of 98 %. Furthermore, the mutant allelic fraction of the cell-line was also assessed correctly showing that the technique is quantitative.
