Abstract
A method of moving a solvent without electrowetting properties on an electro-wetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) microfluidic device comprises disposing a first droplet of a first fluid having electrowetting properties on a surface of the EWOD microfluidic device; disposing a second droplet of a second fluid without electrowetting properties on the surface; applying a voltage to the surface to move the first droplet towards the second droplet; contacting the first droplet with the second droplet to form a encapsulated droplet, where the second droplet encapsulates the first droplet.
