Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Electro-osmosis is used to create droplets in order to easily, carefully, and quickly pick-and-place millions of objects (ranging in size from millimeters to nanometers) individually or in parallel. Droplets are formed within channels that are individually controlled in order to achieve a predetermined configuration of the selected objects.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electro-osmosis system, comprising: a printed circuit board having an array of fluidic passageways, wherein each fluidic passageway is plated with a conductive material and each fluidic passageway forms part of a channel with an input end and an output end, an electro-osmosis pump disposed adjacent a bottom major surface of the printed circuit board and operatively associated with one or more channels at the input end, a voltage source to drive…
