DOIAbstract
This paper presents details of the design and fabrication of test structures specifically designed for the characterisation of two distinct digital microfluidic technologies: Electro-Wetting On Dielectric (EWOD) and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW). A test chip has been fabricated that includes structures with a wide range of dimensions and provides the capability to characterise enhanced droplet manipulation as well as other integrated functions. In particular, we detail the use of EWOD to anchor droplets while SAW excitation is applied to perform mixing.</p
