Air-matrix digital microfluidics (DMF) apparatuses and methods of using them. These methods and apparatuses may include the use of a liquid wax coating material and/or pinning the encapsulated reaction droplet within the air gap using pinning features. Any of these methods may also include separating the liquid wax from an encapsulated aqueous droplet, e.g., using an oil absorbent wick to selectively separate the liquid oil or wax from the aqueous droplet by adsorbing and/or absorbing the liquid wax into the absorbent wick while leaving the aqueous droplet behind.

Control of evaporation in digital microfluidics

Digital microfluidic (DMF) methods and apparatuses (including devices, systems, cartridges, DMF readers, etc.), and in particular DMF apparatuses and methods adapted for large volume. For example, described herein are methods and apparatuses for DMF using an air gap having a width of the gap that may be between 0.3 mm and 3 mm. Also described herein are DMF readers for use with a DMF cartridges, including those adapted for use with large air gap/large volume, although smaller volumes may be used as well.
