Abstract:Production of correct bioassay outcome is the foremost objective in digital microfluidic biochips (or DMFBs). In highfrequency DMFBs, continuous actuation of electrodes leads to malfunctioning or even breakdown of the system. The improper functioning of a biochip tends to produce erroneous results. On the other hand, while transporting droplets, the residues may get stuck to electrode walls and cause contamination to other droplets. To ensure proper assay outcome, washing becomes mandatory, whose incorporation… Show more
“…The design process of DMFBs consists of two main approaches: a modularization-based design 18,19 and routing-based synthesis design. 20 Of these, the modularization-based design, in which adjacent electrodes on a chip are divided into “modules” to perform certain functions, is widely used. When a biochemical experiment requires this operation, a droplet needs only to be sent into the module.…”
