Method of controlling a microfluidic device having a reduced number of input and output connections

摘要: A system and method for reducing the number of input/output connections required to connect a microfluidic substrate an external controller controlling substrate. processing device is fabricated on having plurality N independently controllable components, (e.g., resistive heating elements) each at least two terminals. The includes contacts connecting controller, leads terminals components. are arranged allow supply control signals components via using substantially fewer than total component controlled by arranging so that component's connected unique combination contacts.
