“…Typically, these mixers are 'active' mixers requiring additional flow induction. The commonly used actuating sources are the electric field (Park and Wereley 2013;Yan et al 2009) and the magnetic field (Peng et al 2011;West et al 2002). Yet, the extra electromagnetic fields may cause direct effects to the cell behaviors and viability, due to factors such as the abundant ions in the growth media and the ion channels over cell membranes.…”

The interdisciplinary research field of microfluidics has the potential to revolutionize current technologies that require the handling of a small amount of fluid, a fast response, low costs and automation. Microfluidic platforms that handle small amounts of liquid have been categorised as continuous-flow microfluidics and digital microfluidics. The first part of this paper discusses the recent advances of the two main and opposing applications of liquid handling in continuous-flow microfluidics: mixing and separation. Mixing and separation are essential steps in most lab-on-a-chip platforms, as sample preparation and detection are required for a variety of biological and chemical assays. The second part discusses the various digital microfluidic strategies, based on droplets and liquid marbles, for the manipulation of discrete microdroplets. More advanced digital microfluidic devices combining electrowetting with other techniques are also introduced. The applications of the emerging field of liquid-marble-based digital microfluidics are also highlighted. Finally, future perspectives on microfluidic liquid handling are discussed.
