“…Because of their reconfigurability, flexibility, and scalability, droplet-based microfluidic devices [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] promise to overcome some of the drawbacks of continuous flow systems -such as complexity, non-reconfigurability (application-specific). Several droplet actuation methods have been developed for droplet translocation, including electrostatic [13,14], thermocapillary [15,16], electrowetting [12,18,19,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][68][69][70]…”
