A novel electrowetting-on-dielectrics (EWOD) device in open planar geometry allows probing of droplet mixing on a superhydrophobic substrate under quasi contact-free conditions. We demonstrate a droplet-based microreactor with integrated convective-flow mixing for the reactive-mixing of CaCl(2)/Na(2)CO(3) solutions. The device provides unique conditions for scattering, spectroscopy and imaging probes requiring an unobstructed droplet-access.
一种新颖的基于电润湿的（EWOD）器件采用开式平面几何结构，可在近乎无接触条件下探测超疏水基底上液滴混合情况。我们展示了一种基于液滴的微反应器，它具有集成的对流传质混合功能，可用于 CaCl(2)/Na(2)CO(3) 溶液的反应混合。该器件为需要无障碍液滴通道的散射、光谱和成像探头提供了独特的条件。
