    Abstract: A channel layer of a digital microfluidic device may include a number of sample wells located on a first side of the die, a number of first capillary channels fluidically coupled to each of the sample wells, the first capillary channels drawing a fluid from the sample wells using capillary forces, a capillary break fluidically coupled to each of the first capillary channels to dispense a portion of the fluid drawn from the sample wells through the capillary forces, a number of intermediate chambers fluidically coupled to the capillary break, a number of second capillary channels fluidically coupled to the intermediate chambers, the second capillary channels drawing the fluid from the intermediate chambers using capillary forces, and a number of mixing chambers fluidically coupled to the second capillary channels into which the capillary forces of the second capillary channels cause the fluid to enter the mixing chambers.

    Abstract: A printhead may include a nozzle, a firing chamber fluidly coupled to the nozzle, a printing fluid slot fluidly coupled to the firing chamber, and a sensor to detect a plurality of complex impedance values of a printing fluid at the printhead over a plurality of frequencies and create a printing fluid signature of the printing fluid. A method of determining at least one characteristic of a printing fluid provided to a printhead ma include, with a number of sensors, applying an alternating current at a plurality of frequencies over time to the printing fluid to receive a plurality of complex impedance values and comparing the plurality of complex impedance signals to a number of stored signals.

    Abstract: In an implementation, a printhead includes a printhead die molded into a molding. The die has a front surface exposed outside the molding to dispense fluid drops through nozzles and an opposing back surface covered by the molding except at a channel in the molding through which fluid may pass directly to the back surface. The die also has a nozzle health sensor molded into the molding to detect defective nozzles in the printhead die.
