Abstract: A fluidic device, such as an electrowetting-on-dielectric device, is provided. The device comprises a fluid chamber containing apolar fluid. The fluid chamber comprises an input port and a channel fluidly connected to the input port. The input port is formed with an opening to receive a pipette tip and impart a droplet of polar fluid into the channel. The insertion of the pipette tip into the fluid chamber causes displacement of the apolar fluid in the fluid chamber such that when the pipette tip is retracted from the fluid chamber, apolar fluid displaces the polar fluid from the surface of the pipette tip to form a droplet of polar fluid surrounded by apolar fluid in the channel of the fluid chamber.
