Deterministic splitting of fluid volumes in electrowetting microfluidics
Deterministic splitting of fluid volumes in electrowetting microfluidics is a scholarly work by Ian Papautsky, published in 2012 in ''Lab on a Chip''. The main subjects of the publication include self-reconfiguring modular robot, Digital microfluidics, nanotechnology, metering mode, sample, volume (thermodynamics), materials science, computer science, electronic engineering, microfluidics, Electrowetting, chip, lab-on-a-chip, and voltage. The authors demonstrate a new approach for splitting sample volumes precisely by gradually ramping down voltage, in place of abruptly switching off electrodes.
