Proceedings ArticleDOI
Microfluidic electrowetting-based droplet mixing
TL;DR: In this paper, a liquid droplet mixer is proposed to enable mixing of the samples and reagents for chemical and biological analysis in micro total analysis systems (/spl mu/TAS).
Patent
Modular droplet actuator drive
TL;DR: In this article, a droplet actuator drive is described, which includes a detection apparatus for sensing a property of a single droplet on a single actuator; circuitry for controlling the detection apparatus electronically coupled to the detection equipment; and/or a means for coupling the actuator circuitry to a processor.
Patent
Reagent storage and reconstitution for a droplet actuator
TL;DR: On-board reagent storage, handling, and dispensing apparatuses and methods for droplet actuator systems are provided in this article, where a fluidic analyzer is provided, and a method of conducting fluidic analysis is provided.

TL;DR: A novel microfluidic real-time PCR platform (Advanced Liquid Logic, Research Triangle Park, NC) that is rapid, portable, and fully automated is evaluated that offers an inexpensive and convenient diagnostic test for microbial DNA.
Patent
Droplet actuators, systems and methods
TL;DR: In this article, a method of defining partitions for pin layouts in a droplet actuator for a specific assay, including: defining droplet traces for the assay; and defining a guard ring along the traces.
