Title:
液体微粒子のハンドリング方法およびその装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3805746
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A liquid particulate-handling method and device, in which the evaporation of the droplets is prevented and therefore the handing of the droplets is appropriately performed, are provided. In the handling of liquid particulates, a chemically inert solution (4), having microdroplets (5) therein, is set on a substrate (1) having handling electrodes (2) arranged in a two-dimensional manner; and the voltages of the handling electrodes (2) are controlled, thereby handling the microdroplets (5).
