The high mortality rate of sepsis has been attributed to delayed pathogen identification. Hence, a fluidic device is being developed to accelerate the procedures from DNA purification to qPCR sequence detection. Demonstrated herein is the key feature the device: The use of EWD droplet actuation to manipulate the eluent generated by an immiscible phase filtration DNA preprocessor. Among other benefits, EWD actuation enables the eluent to be compartmentalized into several microdrops for subsequent automated PCR mixture preparation and multiplex sequence detection. Also discussed are the characterization of purification power, and the fabrication of the high temperature tolerance plastic top plate.
