    Abstract: A method for continuously separating components from a sample includes providing a field-flow fractionation device including: a channel coupled to a flow generator for translocating the sample components along the channel in a first direction, an actuator for translocating the sample components in a second direction, at an angle with the first direction, and an array of electrodes electrically or capacitively connected to an AC power source, operating the actuator so as to translocate the sample components in a second direction at an angle with the first direction, operating the AC power source so as to generate an AC electric field between adjacent rows, and operating the flow generator, collecting sample components from the sample outlets.

    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.
