Active droplet-array (ADA) microfluidics enables multiplexed complex bioassays for point of care testing

Abstract

We introduce a novel and versatile microfluidic technology that allows parallel and multi-step bioanalytical procedures to be simply implemented by switching reagent-containing droplet arrays among alternative interaction zones for intended mass or energy transport in a programmable manner. This enables multiplexed complex bioassays for point-of-care testing.
