PROGRAMMABLE FLUIDIC PROCESSORS |
| 摘要 |
Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, and methods for programmable fluidic processors. In one embodiment, the invention involves manipulating droplets across a reaction surface of the processor substantially contact-free of any surfaces. The reaction surface and the electrodes of the processor may include a coating repelling the droplets. Further, the present invention provides for a suitable suspending medium for repelling droplets away from fixed surfaces. |

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a suspending medium comprising a plurality of droplets; a reaction surface providing an interaction site for the plurality of droplets; at least one electrode coupled to the reaction surface, the at least one electrode comprising an insulating coating for preventing contact between the plurality of droplets and the at least one electrode; and a controller coupled to the at least one electrode for providing dielectrophoretic forces on the plurality of droplets. |
