Abstract
This paper describes the experimental demonstration of an on-chip mixer array for nanoliter-sized liquid droplets for combinatorial chemistry. The device employs dielectrophoretic (DEP) liquid microactuation to divide microliter-sized volumes of two different samples or reagents into nanoliter droplets, distribute them in a 2 × 2 array, and then mix adjacent droplet pairs simultaneously using electrostatic coalescence.
