Biomolecular Adsorption Phenomena in Electrowetting-Based Digital Microfluidic Devices

Ahmadi A., Devlin K.D., Najjaran H., Holzman J.F., Hoorfar M., University of British Columbia, CA

Digital microfluidic lab-on-a-chip technology has been a new trend in miniaturizing biomedical platforms. However, nonspecific adsorption of these biomolecules has proven to be one the greatest sources of uncertainties for these biofluidic chips. Unwanted adsorption [...]

Determination of droplet shape in digital microfluidic systems using two-dimensional flow analysis

Ahmadi A., Najjaran H., Holzman J.F., Hoorfar M., University of British Columbia Okanagan, CA

A two-dimensional model for fluid flow in a digital microfluidic system is introduced, and the results are compared to experimental data. Resistive flow effects based upon contact line forces, filler effects and shear forces are [...]

Numerical Modeling of Microdrop Motion on Digital Microfluidic Multiplexer

Ahmadi A., Najjaran H., Holzman J., Hoorfar M., University of British Columbia, CA

This paper introduces a computationally efficient numerical modeling approach for microdroplet motion on an innovative Digital Microfluidic Multiplexer structure which enables the pilot synthesis and study of nanoparticles. This structure offers an enhanced level of [...]
