Abstract

L'invention concerne des dispositifs actionneurs de gouttelettes pour faciliter certaines techniques moléculaires à actionnement de gouttelettes. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention fournit des actionneurs de gouttelettes qui facilitent des opérations de gouttelettes en trois dimensions. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention fournit une production à coûts réduits d'actionneurs de gouttelettes. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention assure le remplacement d'un ou de plusieurs composants d'un actionneur de gouttelettes. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention fournit des actionneurs de gouttelettes utilisant des encres d'impression conductrices afin de former des électrodes et/ou des plans de masse. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention fournit un appareil de serrage magnétique pour assembler des actionneurs de gouttelettes. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention fournit des sources d'énergie simples, peu coûteuses, à utiliser en combinaison avec des systèmes microfluidiques. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention fournit une plateforme de multiplexage immunologique qui utilise de la technologie microfluidique numérique et l'imagerie en temps réel de signaux chimiluminescents basés sur des flashs. Dans un mode de réalisation encore différent, l'invention fournit des dispositifs actionneurs de gouttelettes fabriqués en utilisant un procédé de traitement au plasma afin d'élever l'énergie de surface du substrat.
