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: This disclosure relates to mechanical cell lysis in a digital microfluidic (DMF) platform, which includes an embedded thin film resistor to generate vapor bubbles in a drop so as to perform the mechanical cell lysis. Cell lysis is a necessary step for single cell analysis (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics). Performing lysis at a single cell level in a DMF platform allows for a complex, automated, reprogrammable workflow to be performed simultaneously or sequentially to a large number of cells. Mechanical lysis is advantageous over chemical lysis because no lysing reagent is introduced into the lysis, which may degrade the analytes of interest and interfere with a downstream analysis.

Abstract: A droplet PCR system is described herein. The droplet PCR system comprises a chamber having a heating surface, a droplet dispenser to dispense PCR-reagent-containing droplets into the chamber, a heater disposed onto the heating surface of the chamber to heat a layer of fluid adjacent the heating surface, and a controller to control the heater to produce a pulsed heat flux.

Abstract: An example device includes an array of electrodes for transporting droplets of fluids along dynamically configurable routes, the array having a first electrode that is selectively energized for moving a first fluid droplet toward the first electrode; a second electrode that is selectively energized for moving a second fluid droplet toward the second electrode; and further electrodes surrounding the first fluid droplet and second fluid droplet that can be selectively de-energized for maintaining separation between the first fluid droplet and second fluid droplet or selectively energized for merging the first fluid droplet and second fluid droplet.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a particle detection system is described. The particle detection system includes a microfluidic channel through which fluid is to flow. The fluid includes particles. The particle detection system also includes a sensing circuit to output a resonant frequency. The sensing circuit includes a pair of electrodes disposed within the microfluidic channel. Contents of a volume between the pair of electrodes changes a capacitance between the pair of electrodes. A change in the capacitance changes the resonant frequency output by the sensing circuit. The particle detection system also includes a controller to determine the contents of the volume based on the resonant frequency.

Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a channel, an opening in the channel, and a heating element aligned with the opening on opposite sides of the channel. The channel contains a droplet of a first liquid containing a particle, wherein the droplet is carried within a second liquid in the channel. The heating element is to heat the first liquid to generate a vapor in the first liquid to eject the droplet of the first liquid through the opening.

Abstract: Examples herein involve sorting a droplet including a biologic sample. In a particular example, sorting a droplet including a biologic sample includes generating a droplet including a biologic sample and a pH sensitive surfactant, and heating a nucleic acid molecule in the biologic sample. The pH sensitive surfactant may change the surface tension of the droplet responsive to amplification of the nucleic acid molecule. The droplet may be sorted into one of a plurality of sorting lanes based on the surface tension of the droplet, where a sorting lane among the plurality of sorting lanes is associated with droplets including the amplified nucleic acid molecule. A determination of whether the droplet includes the amplified nucleic acid molecule may be performed by detecting passage of the droplet in one of the plurality of sorting lanes.
