Low voltage picoliter droplet manipulation utilizing electrowetting-on-dielectric platforms.
Picoliter droplets actuated on an electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWD) actuator are demonstrated. In this study, the physical scaling of electrodes for 33 μm and 21 μm EWD devices resulted in droplets of 12 pl and 5 pl being dispensed respectively in conjunction with 3 μm SU8 gaskets. The stacked multi-layer insulators in the actuators consisted of 200 nm tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) and 200 nm par...
متن کاملDroplet Velocity in an Electrowetting on Dielectric Digital Microfluidic Device
In many electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) based microfluidics devices, droplet actuation speed is a crucial performance-controlling parameter. Our present study aims to characterize and study droplet speed in a typical EWOD device. First, a practical droplet speed measurement method has been methodically demonstrated and some related velocity terms have been introduced. Next, influence of ele...
متن کاملElectrowetting on dielectric experiments using graphene.
We report electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) experiments using graphene; a transparent, flexible and stretchable nanomaterial. Graphene sheets were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, and transferred to various substrates (including glass slides and PET films). Reversible contact angle changes were observed on the Teflon-coated graphene electrode with both AC and DC voltages. Nyquist plo...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional droplet-based surface plasmon resonance imaging using electrowetting-on-dielectric microfluidics.
This article presents a multichannel droplet-based surface plasmon resonance platform. The platform comprises a digital electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) microfluidic device coupled to surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). SPRi is now a well-established detection technique that enables in-situ monitoring of multiple reactions occurring at the surface of the chip without the use of labels....
متن کاملAccurate, consistent, and fast droplet splitting and dispensing in electrowetting on dielectric digital microfluidics
This letter reports two novel electrode design considerations to satisfy two very important aspects of EWOD operation—(1) Highly consistent volume of generated droplets and (2) Highly improved accuracy in the generated droplet volume. Considering the design principles investigated two novel designs were proposed; L-junction electrode design to offer high throughput droplet generation and Y-junc...
