Electrowetting on Dielectric (EWOD): New Tool for Bio/Micro Fluids Handling

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since the emergence of microfabrication technology, microfluidics has bloomed, spawning a revolutionary concept: lab on a chip. In particular, dropletbased digital microfluidics has developed as a new paradigm and is growing in popularity alongside conventional microchannel-based microfluidics. Electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD), which enables efficient manipulation of droplets, is greatly contributing to the development, maturation and realization of digital microfluidics. So far, massive research on EWOD has advanced the understanding of fundamentals and birthed various new applications. This review paper separates past EWOD research work into the topic areas of fundamental investigation, fluidic operation and biochip application, and reviews each area with a brief discussion on current issues.
