Abstract

Microfluidic technology, as well as digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs), have had a very significant contribution in the field of medical bio-chemistry such as point-of-care diagnostics, environmental monitoring, DNA sequencing, etc. DMFBs are low cost, highly flexible and reconfigurable device that makes it so advantageous in clinical applications. The routing of a nano-liter volume of droplets is very important and is a critical operation in DMFB. Complex heuristic algorithms have been developed for droplet routing. Proper simulation is very essential to measure the effectiveness of these algorithms. In this work, the authors develop a complete routing simulator for both homogeneous and heterogeneous type droplets. The proposed routing simulator graphically represents the routing operation of droplets in DMFB and display the measurement of all parameters of routing algorithms such as latest arrival time, average arrival time, number of cells used, and the total number of contaminations. The proposed simulator was executed on suit I and III benchmark testbenches.
