论文摘要
数字微流体生物芯片（DMFB）是革命性的生物医学设备，用于诊断和护理点应用；这些芯片提供了执行生物化学和实验室程序范围广泛的能力，其中提供了各种机会，其中包括自动化，小型化和生物测定的成本率。有各种数字微流体生物芯片建筑；该应用程序特定的芯片主要适用于执行预定义的生物测定集，而更灵活的通用芯片允许在同一体系结构上执行宽范围的生物测定范围。尽管在执行各种生物测定方面更灵活，但与需要更大和昂贵的设计相比，通用芯片需要更复杂的设计。本文试图提出一种通用现场可编程的销钉限制的DMFB设计，其特征在区域消耗，制造成本和性能方面提高了特征。
Digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) are revolutionary biomedical devices towards diagnostics and point-of-care applications; the chips provide the capability of performing wide ranges of biochemistry and laboratory procedures, offering various opportunities among which to mention are automation, miniaturization and cost-affordability of bioassays. There have been various digital microfluidic biochips architectures; the application-specific chips are mainly suited towards executing a predefined set of bioassays whereas the more flexible general-purpose chips allow executing wide ranges of bioassays on the same architecture. Though more flexible in terms of performing various bioassays the general-purpose chips require more complicated designs compared with application-specific counterparts necessitating larger and more costly designs. This paper attempts to propose a general-purpose field-programmable pin-constrained DMFB design with improved characteristics in terms area-consumption, manufacturing cost and performance.
