Droplet actuation on a digital microfluidic chip using a 5 volt battery

Rezaei Nejad H., University of British Columbia, CA

This paper presents a circuit using a 5-volt DC battery to actuate droplets on a DMF chip. The output of the circuit is a controllable high voltage, high frequency AC signal which can actuate a [...]

Droplet Dispensing from Open to Close Digital Microfluidics

Rezaei Nejad H., University of British Columbia, CA

There are two types of DMF platforms: open and closed systems. Each platform has its own advantages. For instance, it is easier to access the droplet in the open systems; whereas, the closed system limits [...]

Introducing a Digital Micropump for Driving a Droplet in a Microfluidic Channel

Rezaei Nejad H., University of British Columbia, CA

This paper presents a novel pumping technique which is compatible with both digital and continuous microfluidic platforms. In essence, a target droplet (referred to as the pumped droplet) is pumped by actuating the secondary droplet [...]
