Abstract

In this work new data, models, and applications are presented of an ultra-low power, microfluidic device for use in integrated bio-microelectrofluidic systems (Bio-MEFS). The metal-insulator-solution transport (MIST) device is based on the high-speed manipulation of discrete droplets of analytes and reagents under voltage control, and is the MOSFET equivalent for MEFS.
