Abstract: AbstractCoacervation is considered as a ubiquitous mechanism for assembling biomolecular materials outside cells and organizing membraneless organelles inside cells. Despite the importance of mapping binodals to understand the driving forces and thermodynamics of coacervate, quantifying protein concentration within a droplet is significantly challenging owing to its dynamic and viscous nature. A direct imaging‐based method is presented to quantify coacervate using real‐time 3D quantitative phase imaging. The proposed method utilizes the mea...
