Abstract
In order to form large micro-droplet-arrays, we have developed a device that can merge and transport microdroplets in two directions. Transportation of droplets is performed by electrostatic actuation technique. The speciality of this method is that it uses only one electrode panel, based on standard printed circuit board (PCB), and in it, only 18 independent controls are needed. We have also developed disposable plastic films cards, which can substantialy reduce the development cost because the actuation chip has been separated into two parts: a fixed electrode panel and a less costly removable card. The droplets array is formed and analyzed in the card.
