Title: Introduction to Digital Microfluidics (DMF)

Presenters:
Aaron Wheeler - University of Toronto
Ryan Fobel - University of Toronto
Christian Fobel - University of Toronto
Darius Rackus - University of Toronto

Target Audience: The workshop is targeted to a wide audience, and is well-suited to those interested in small volume liquid handling in general. Digital microfluidics is a general purpose, dynamic liquid handling technology suitable for many purposes. Many diverse applications have been demonstrated using DMF including cell culture/analysis, clinical applications, electroanalysis, digital extraction, and more. No prior experience using digital microfluidics is required.

Learning Objectives: The workshop will start with a lecture covering background material related to digital microfluidics, including theory, chip fabrication, and applications. Attendees will then be split into groups of 2-3 to perform hands-on activities moving droplets of liquid using the Dropbot DMF system. Attendees will leave with a general understanding of DMF fundamentals and practical liquid handling experience using the Dropbot DMF system.
