  • DIGITAL MICROFLUIDICS DEVICES AND METHODS OF USING THEM
    Publication number: 20220250078
    Abstract: Digital microfluidic (DMF) methods and apparatuses (including devices, systems, cartridges, DMF readers, etc.), and in particular DMF apparatuses and methods adapted for large volume. For example, described herein are methods and apparatuses for DMF using an air gap having a width of the gap that may be between 0.3 mm and 3 mm. Also described herein are DMF readers for use with a DMF cartridges, including those adapted for use with large air gap/large volume, although smaller volumes may be used as well.

  • DIGITAL MICROFLUIDICS DEVICES AND METHODS OF USING THEM
    Publication number: 20220219172
    Abstract: Digital microfluidic (DMF) methods and apparatuses (including devices, systems, cartridges, DMF readers, etc.), and in particular DMF apparatuses and methods that may be used to safely manually add or remove fluid within a cartridge while it is actively applying DMF. Also described herein are DMF readers for use with a DMF cartridges, including those including multiple and/or redundant safety interlocks. Also described herein are DMF reader devices having a cover with active control of microfluidics on the cover while actively controlling DMF on the reader base.

  • CONTROL OF EVAPORATION IN DIGITAL MICROFLUIDICS
    Publication number: 20210069714
    Abstract: Air-matrix digital microfluidics (DMF) apparatuses and methods of using them. These methods and apparatuses may include the use of a liquid wax coating material and/or pinning the encapsulated reaction droplet within the air gap using pinning features. Any of these methods may also include separating the liquid wax from an encapsulated aqueous droplet, e.g., using an oil absorbent wick to selectively separate the liquid oil or wax from the aqueous droplet by adsorbing and/or absorbing the liquid wax into the absorbent wick while leaving the aqueous droplet behind.
