| 20110147215 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANIPULATING AND OBSERVING LIQUID DROPLETS - A device for manipulating and observing suspended particles in a liquid. The device includes: a first substrate including at least one first orifice forming an inlet site for the liquid, an observation site for observing the suspended particles, and a mechanism displacing the liquid from the inlet site to the observation site. The first substrate includes a first hydrophobic layer. The liquid is electrically conducting. The liquid can be displaced as a droplet by electrowetting, the droplet being in contact with the hydrophobic layer. | 06-23-2011 |
