ELECTROWETTING ON DIELECTRIC (EWOD) DEVICE TO PERFORM LIQUID-TO-LIQUID EXTRACTION (LLE) OF BIOMOLECULES AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING THE EWOD DEVICE

摘要

A method and system for performing biomolecule extraction are provided that use liquid-to-liquid extraction (LLE) in combination with an electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) device to provide a biomolecule extraction solution that has high extraction efficiency and that is less costly and easier to use than current state of the art methods and systems. The system and method are well suited for, but not limited to, extraction of DNA, RNA and protein molecules.
