Implementing complex bioanalytical assays on fully integrated and scalable lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices has great potential in key biomedical applications such as point-of-care diagnostics and high-throughput screening [1–5]. However, there are significant challenges because the current LOC devices mostly rely on continuous flow microfluidics and require multifaceted fluidic architectures, components such as pumps and valves, and an external fluid interface to carry out complex bioassays. To address the challenges of these channelbased, continuous flow systems, there is increasing interest in developing droplet-based microfluidic systems [6–9]. Diverse mechanisms have been used for droplet actuation, including electrowetting [10–14], magnetic force [15–18], photo-actuation [19–21], surface acoustic wave [22], and dielectrophoresis [23]. Of these, electrowetting is most widely used because it is capable of comprehensive fluidic operation including dispensing, splitting, and transport. Nonetheless, such a wide range of fluidic operation by electrowetting requires a closed or two-plate configuration, in which droplets are tightly sandwiched between two substrates patterned with electrodes, resulting in a restricted operating liquid volume (100s nl-1 μl)[6, 8]. This small assay volume may be impractical for assays that require large sample volume, such as PCR-based detection of infectious agents due to statistical sampling errors. Furthermore, electrowetting alone is limited to liquid handling, and cannot be used to manipulate the solid materials used in heterogeneous assays. Usually a secondary mechanism, such as magnetic forces or dielectrophoresis, is needed for particle handling [14, 24–28].
