MILLILITER-TO-MICROLITER PLATFORM FOR ON-DEMAND LOADING OF AQUEOUS AND NON-AQUEOUS DROPLETS TO DIGITAL MICROFLUIDICS
Abstract
We describe a world-to-chip interface for automated, on-demand loading of $\sim 1\mu{\rm L}$ droplets from a large (~1mL demonstrated) off-chip reservoir. Utilizing a combination of compressed inert gas and gravity to exert forces on the liquid, the technique employed is simple and robust, requiring no carrier fluid. Another key feature from a practical point-of-view is that all of the wetted parts are inexpensive and potentially disposable, …
