Abstract
An active matrix microfluidic platform employs thin film transistor active ('TFT') matrix liquid crystal display technology to manipulate small samples of fluid for chemical, biochemical, or biological assays without moving parts, for example, using a two-dimensional matrix array of drive electrodes. The active matrix microfluidic platform may employ existing active matrix addressing schemes and/or commercial 'off-the-shelf' animation software to program assay protocols. A feedback subsystem may determine an actual location of a fluid in the microfluidic structure, and provides location information to for display, for example, on an active matrix display, and/or to control movement of one or more fluid bodies in the microfluidic structure.
