Abstract





We present the concept of digital microfluidics a new paradigm in pumping and manipulating liquids and the technologies being developed to implement the concept in microdevices. Recently, our group has reported how to create, drive, divide, or merge droplets, all using electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) actuation. EWOD is an actuation mechanism based on electrical control of a surface wettability to aqueous liquids with excellent energy efficiency. With these four basic fluidic functions on individual droplets in hand, we are addressing the next major challenge: how to reduce the driving voltage, how to drive droplets on an NxM grid, and how to accomplish efficient mixing in microscale. The results demonstrates driving voltages as low as 15 V, droplet speed as fast as 250 mm/s, travel on a arbitrary path on an NxM grid without calling for complications in fabrication, and enhancement of mixing by two orders of magnitudes.
