Abstract
During last two decades, an emerging technology of Lab-on-a-Chips (LOCs) has been studied by the researchers of interdisciplinary fields to develop microfluidic chips that can implement wide-range of biochemical laboratory test protocols. A marriage of microelectronics and in-vitro diagnostics areas has led to this field of interdisciplinary research around LOCs. In contrast to continuous-flow microfluidic chips, digital microfluidic (DMF) biochips are popular microfluidic LOCs that can implement bioassays on an electrode array of a few square centimeters in size by manipulating micro/nano/pico liter volume fluid droplets. Recently, computer-aided-design (CAD) techniques have been extensively used for developing DMF biochips. In his talk, he will discuss about some CAD techniques for automatic synthesis of biochips and several CAD techniques for automated and on-chip fluidic sample preparation (dilution and mixing) of biochemical fluids using microfluidic biochips.
