Droplet manipulation

Patent Granted Manipulation of droplets on a two-dimensional path was demonstrated later.[10][11] If the liquid is discretized and programmably manipulated, the approach is called "Digital Microfluidic Circuits"[12][13] or "Digital Microfluidics".[14] Discretization by electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) was first demonstrated by Cho, Moon and Kim,[15] completing the four basic digital microfluidic functions of creating, transporting, dividing and merging droplets on chip by electrowetting
