Digital Mirofluidics Control System Project Information

Project Summary

When testing for any types of disease or infection, the process can be very tedious and may take several weeks for the results to arrive to the patients. By utilizing the Digital MicroFluidics(DMF) device, it has the potential to test patients for immediate results.

Current project involves designing and building DMF control system and its housing for Dr. Michael Schertzer. Our main objective is to build the control system that connects to the DMF device and be able to manipulate pico to nano sized discrete droplets. In addition, packaging the control system into one modular housing for portability. Demonstration of moving and analyzing the droplets can be viewed in this video.
