Droplet manipulation

Droplet manipulation involves controlling tiny amounts of liquids, called droplets, with precision. This process is used in applications like medical testing, chemical analysis, and biology. Techniques use tools like specialized surfaces, electric or magnetic fields, or microfluidic devices to move, merge, split, or position droplets accurately. This allows for efficient handling of small sample volumes, rapid testing, and detailed analysis without the need for large equipment or reagents, making processes faster and more cost-effective.
