Abstract

See full text

A microfluidic transport system for transporting microdroplets in three spatial dimensions. In an example arrangement, a first planar arrangement for transporting microdroplets in two spatial dimensions responsive to electric fields created by electrical operation of electrodes is fluidically connected by one or more conduits to other planar arrangement for transporting microdroplets in two spatial dimensions responsive to electric fields created by electrical operation of electrodes. Microdroplets can be transported through the one or more conduits so as to be moved among the first and second planar arrangements.
