    Abstract: A digital droplet PCR system is described. The digital droplet PCR system comprises a microfluidic cartridge comprising: a plurality of sample droplet generators, wherein each sample droplet generator is operable to partition a PCR mixture into a plurality of aqueous droplets dispersed in a carrier liquid, and wherein at least one sample droplet generator is operable to partition a PCR mixture that is different to a PCR mixture that is partitioned by at least one other sample droplet generator; a thermocycling chamber comprising an embedded heater, an inlet configured to receive the plurality of aqueous droplets from the plurality of sample droplet generators, and an outlet; and an optical readout zone fluidly connected to the outlet of the thermocycling chamber; and a pressure actuated pump configured to couple to and cause fluid flow through the microfluidic cartridge. A method of performing digital droplet PCR is also described.

    Abstract: A digital microfluidic device includes an array of controllable electrode pads alignable with a fluid passageway and a control portion. The control portion is to cause electrowetting movement of a droplet within the fluid passageway through a circuit of multiple different zones of the electrode pads. The electrowetting movement is to iteratively expose the droplet within a current zone of the different zones for a selectable current time period at a current temperature of a list of consecutive temperatures, further expose the droplet within the current zone, for each respective selectable subsequent time period, at each respective subsequent temperature of the list which is greater than the current temperature, and move the droplet into a subsequent zone of the different zones when one of the respective subsequent temperatures is less than the current temperature.

    Abstract: An example system includes a primary channel having a first end and a second end, at least two reagent reservoirs coupled to the first end, and a controller. Each reservoir contains a reagent in a fluid solution and is associated with an integrated pump to drive a reagent droplet from the corresponding reagent reservoir into the primary channel towards the second end. The controller is coupled to the integrated pumps and operates according to a sequence to actuate the integrated pumps, the sequence being indicative of reagents in the reagent reservoirs. The actuation of the pumps is to drive the reagent droplets from the reagent reservoirs into the primary channel in accordance with the sequence. The example system also includes a shell material reservoir with a shell material and an associated shell material pump to drive the shell material into the primary channel to encapsulate the reagent droplets.
