Opening up possibilities with open-top optofluidic device
E-Mail IMAGE: Schematic of the co-planar light-actuated optoelectrowetting microfluidic device that features an integrated metal mesh grid. A droplet on the device surface is actuated and moved around the two-dimensional plane under... view more Credit: Jodi Loo et al. doi: 10.1117/1.JOM.1.3.034001. Microfluidic technologies have seen great advances over the past few decades in addressing applications such as biochemical analysis, pharmaceutical development, and point-of-care diagnostics. Miniaturization of biochemical operations performed on lab-on-a-chip microfluidic platforms b...
