Abstract
Systems and methods for analyzing droplets are provided. A representative system includes: a substrate; a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines disposed on the substrate to define an array of pixels; a hydrophobic layer disposed on the array of pixels; reagent disposed on the hydrophobic layer; movement control circuitry configured to provide a control signal to a first of the scan lines to move the droplet along the array of pixels to selectively position the droplet in contact with the reagent; position sensing circuitry configured to provide a sensing signal corresponding to a position of the droplet on the array of pixels; and detecting circuitry configured to determine a characteristic of the droplet based on the position of the droplet and a response of the droplet to the reagent.
