论文摘要
数字微流体生物芯片（DMFBS）构成了旨在自动化，微型化和生物化学和实验室程序的成本效果的现代实验室（LOC）设备。在过去的几年中，旨在降低制造成本的各种专业和通用DMFB。遵循同样的趋势，本研究与最先进的DMFB相比，提出了具有高度竞争特征的通用DMFB。拟议的DMFB体系结构提供了较低的布局 / PCB制造成本，从而降低了制造总成本。虽然更具成本效益的设计与最先进的DMFB架构具有竞争力。
Digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) constitute modern generation of Lab-on-Chip (LoC) devices aimed at automation, miniaturization and cost-affordability of biochemistry and laboratory procedures. Over the course of past few years there have been various application-specific and general-purpose DMFBs aimed at reduced manufacturing costs; following the same trend this study presents a general-purpose DMFB with highly competitive characteristics compared with the state-of-the-art DMFBs. The proposed DMFB architecture provides lower Layout / PCB fabrication costs thereby reducing the total manufacturing costs. While more cost-affordable the proposed design is competitive with the state-of-the-art DMFB architectures.
