Wireless Ewod (electrowetting-on-dielectric) Device Using Planar Coils
This paper describes development and experimental verifications of wireless powering for EWOD microfluidics. First, the wireless powering is achieved by planar PCB coils (not by bulky, spool-type, conventional coils), resulting in seamless integration with EWOD array electrodes on a single and compact chip. Second, the obtained voltage for wireless EWOD is over 230Vrms, much higher than typical...
متن کاملDigital Microfluidic Dynamic Culture of Mammalian Embryos on an Electrowetting on Dielectric (EWOD) Chip
Current human fertilization in vitro (IVF) bypasses the female oviduct and manually inseminates, fertilizes and cultivates embryos in a static microdrop containing appropriate chemical compounds. A microfluidic microchannel system for IVF is considered to provide an improved in-vivo-mimicking environment to enhance the development in a culture system for an embryo before implantation. We demons...
متن کاملMicro air bubble manipulation by electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD): transporting, splitting, merging and eliminating of bubbles.
This paper describes various manipulations of micro air bubbles using electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD): transporting, splitting, merging and eliminating. First, in order to understand the response of bubbles to EWOD, the contact angle modulation is measured in a capped air bubble and confirmed to be in good agreement with the Lippmann-Young equation until saturation. Based on the contact ang...
متن کاملShape Oscillation and Internal Mixing in Sessile Liquid Drops Using Electrowetting-on-Dielectric (EWOD)
Internal mixing within a sessile liquid drop can be significantly enhanced by means of so-called electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD), using an alternating electric potential. This is done experimentally by monitoring the coalescence and mixing of dyed liquid drops that are brought together by electrowetting actuation. The process is monitored using high-speed imaging and the extent of mixing wi...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of Flexible Electrowetting on Dielectrics (EWOD) Microlens
We present a flexible variable-focus converging microlens actuated by electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD). The microlens is made of two immiscible liquids and a soft polymer, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Parylene intermediate layer is used to produce robust flexible electrode on PDMS. A low-temperature PDMS-compatible fabrication process has been developed to reduce the stress on the lens struc...
