Patent
Droplet actuator configurations and methods
TL;DR: In this article, a droplet actuator for conducting droplet operations, such as droplet transport and droplet dispensing, is described, and methods of loading and using such actuators are also provided.
Patent
Apparatuses for mixing droplets
TL;DR: In this paper, a binary mixing apparatus with an array of electrodes and a conducting element positioned in relation to at least one of the electrodes to enable a droplet placed in electrical communication with the at least single electrode to electrically communicate with the conducting element is described.
