Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices for manipulating droplets of a fluid by electrowetting. The disclosure provides a fluid processing device comprising a first plate-like structure and a second plate-like structure, which are configured to manipulate one or more droplets located between the first and the second plate-like structure by electrowetting. The fluid processing device comprises a plurality of functional zones, and each functional zone comprises at least two of a first sub-zone for applying heat to the one or more droplets, a second sub-zone for applying a magnetic field to the one or more droplets, and a third sub-zone for providing light onto and/or detecting light emitted by the one or more droplets.
