Abstract: A cartridge for use in an electrowetting sample processing system, the cartridge having one or more inlet ports for introducing an input liquid into an internal gap of the cartridge, which has at least one hydrophobic surface for enabling an electrowetting induced movement of multiple microfluidic droplets separated from the input liquid. The cartridge further has at least one outlet port that is operably connected to the inlet port for providing a liquid flow through the cartridge, if a liquid driving force, in particular an electrowetting force or a pressure force, is applied to at least a part of the input liquid.
