―ARCHITECTURAL LAYOUT FOR DILUTION WITH REDUCED WASTAGE IN DIGITAL MICROFLUIDIC BASED LAB-ON-A-CHIP‖

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for producing fluids with desired concentration factors. According to one embodiment, an arrangement of digital microfluidic (DMF) based electrode platforms are provided. The arrangement may be configured to carry out a sequence of mix steps that may demand storage of resultant fluid mixtures produced in intermediate mix steps. Such sequences of mix steps may be desirable as a result of the decreased demand for initial fluid samples, and reduced wastage.
