One of the ongoing research topics of SIBlab is Digital microfluidics (DMF). DMF has recently emerged for a wide range of applications in biology, chemistry and medicine. In DMF, nanoliter to microliter droplets containing samples and reagents can be manipulated to carry out a range of discrete fluidic operations by applying appropriate electrical potentials to an array of patterned electrodes coated with a hydrophobic insulator. SIBlab is developing a DMF technology for detection/separation/activation, and amplification of bio-molecular activities. For this aim, interfacial phenomena such as (ac) electrokinetics effects, electrowetting and also bioconjugation are hot topics of research/modeling in SIBlab.
