Micro-Drops and Digital Microfluidics

Digital Microfluidics enables the testing of minute fluid samples without the need for pumps or pipes. The result of this is increasingly powerful ‘lab-on-chip’ devices with a lower manufacture cost. Applications range from microreactors (chemical engineering) to drug delivery and the testing of minute biological fluid samples
