Abstract
A digital microfluidic apparatus and a driving method therefor. The digital microfluidic apparatus comprises a digital microfluidic chip (), a thermal control apparatus (), and an elastic support apparatus (). The digital microfluidic chip () is provided with a droplet channel (), and the droplet channel () is configured to allow droplets () to move therein; the thermal control apparatus () is disposed on one side of the digital microfluidic chip (), and is configured to generate at least two independent and non-interference hot zones in the droplet channel (), and control the temperature of each hot zone; and the elastic support apparatus () is disposed on the side of the thermal control apparatus () away from the digital microfluidic chip (), and is configured to drive the thermal control apparatus () to be pasted on the surface of the digital microfluidic chip ().
