Characterization of electrowetting actuation on addressable single-side coplanar electrodes (2006, background): “Typically employed in the dielectrophoretic (DEP) droplet microfluidics [7], this passive cutting method is limited to liquid columns and cannot be applied to droplets.”
Creating, transporting, cutting, and merging liquid droplets by electrowetting-based actuation for digital microfluidic circuits (2003, background): “placement of liquid, unlike on open surface [24], where droplets”
Electrowetting droplet microfluidics on a single planar surface (2006, methodology): “As described in the introduction, the ungrounded droplet configuration has been used by several researchers and has also been used in a DEP mode when high-frequency AC excitation is applied or when nonconducting droplets are used (Gascoyne et al. 2004; Jones et al. 2001; Torres et al. 2004; Washizu ”
Microfluidics: Fluid physics at the nanoliter scale (2005, methodology): “…be separated and manipulated using ac fields of various frequencies reviewed by Pohl 1978 ; Green, Ramos, and Morgan 2000 ; Gascoyne and Vykoukal 2004 , and drive droplet-based microanalysis platforms Jones et al., 2001; Gascoyne et al., 2002; Gascoyne and Vykoukal, 2004; Schwartz et al., 2004 .”
PRINCIPLES OF MICROFLUIDIC ACTUATION BY MODULATION OF SURFACE STRESSES (2005, methodology): “Not included here is a description of electrokinetic phenomena , nor particle or droplet migration by electromechanical body forces such as dielectrophoresis (Jones et al. 2001).”
Thermocapillary actuation of droplets on chemically patterned surfaces by programmable microheater arrays (2003, background): “Most propulsion mechanisms rely on internal flows [1]–[5] but some investigators are exploring advantages inherent in exterior flow using electrowetting [6], [7] and dielectrophoresis for droplet actuation [8].”
Dielectrophoresis-based sample handling in general-purpose programmable diagnostic instruments (2004, background): “Nevertheless, DEP collection and manipulation of DNA has been demonstrated some 15 years ago by Washizu [102]–[104] and more recently by Austin et al. [105] and, as with other ac electrokinetic techniques, the method has the advantage that it is electrically controllable.”
