Heterogeneous immunoassays using magnetic beads on a digital microfluidic platform
Ramakrishna Sista,Allen E. Eckhardt,Vijay Srinivasan,Michael G. Pollack,Srinivas Palanki,Vamsee K. Pamula +5 more
TL;DR: A digital microfluidic platform for performing heterogeneous sandwich immunoassays based on efficient handling of magnetic beads is presented in this paper, based on manipulation of discrete droplets of samples and reagents using electrowetting without the need for channels where the droplets are free to move laterally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplexed Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction on a Digital Microfluidic Platform
Zhishan Hua,Jeremy Rouse,Allen E. Eckhardt,Vijay Srinivasan,Vamsee K. Pamula,Wiley A. Schell,Jonathan L. Benton,Thomas G. Mitchell,Michael G. Pollack +8 more
TL;DR: A versatile digital microfluidic platform for multiplexed real-time polymerase chain reactions (PCR) that reliably detected diagnostic DNA levels of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Candida albicans and was consistently repeatable across multiple PCR loops both within and between cartridges.

Apparatus for manipulating droplets by electrowetting-based techniques
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus is provided for manipulating droplets using electrowetting-based techniques in which electrodes contained on or embedded in the first surface are sequentially energized and de-energized in a controlled manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated on-chip droplet dispensing with volume control by electro-wetting actuation and capacitance metering
TL;DR: In this article, a self-contained system is built to provide continuous flow loading, capacitance measurement, and electro-wetting chip control for on-chip droplet dispensing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of electro-wetting droplet transport
TL;DR: In this article, a model is formulated to describe the dynamics of electro-wetting-induced transport of liquid droplets and the velocity of droplet transport as a function of actuation voltage is derived.
