Journal ArticleDOI
Electrowetting-based actuation of liquid droplets for microfluidic applications
TL;DR: In this article, a microactuator for rapid manipulation of discrete microdroplets is presented, which is accomplished by direct electrical control of the surface tension through two sets of opposing planar electrodes fabricated on glass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrowetting-based actuation of droplets for integrated microfluidics
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative approach to microfluidics based upon the micromanipulation of discrete droplets of aqueous electrolyte by electrowetting is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a digital microfluidic platform for point of care testing
Ramakrishna Sista,Zhishan Hua,Prasanna Thwar,Arjun Sudarsan,Vijay Srinivasan,Allen E. Eckhardt,Michael G. Pollack,Vamsee K. Pamula +7 more
TL;DR: The performance of magnetic bead-based immunoassays (cardiac troponin I) on a digital microfluidic cartridge in less than 8 minutes using whole blood samples and the capability to perform sample preparation for bacterial infectious disease pathogen, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and for human genomic DNA using magnetic beads are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrowetting-based droplet mixers for microfluidic systems
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative mixing strategy is presented based on the discretization of liquids into droplets and further manipulation of those droplets by electrowetting, where interfacial tensions of the droplets are controlled with the application of voltage.
Journal ArticleDOI
