Marketing. The device is a bit slow. But it can be in principle operated this way, it is just slower. I did see newer devices that somehow are faster, and have similar capabilities.
You guys should take that technology that move water droplets with electricity and put it on the hull of a boat like device. Call it the Skidder and make millions! And send me one so I can play with it.
It is very complicated. I do not support the idea of using electricity, as it is very consumable and requires special types of fluids, in addition to being polluted and not similar to how our bodies work.
2:37 - Something tells me pure distilled water can not be moved with this technology? What exactly makes these water droplets move? Electromagnetic field?
I would imagine that this should work on distilled, RO, or milli-Q water. Water is a highly polar molecule, meaning that one end carries a partial positive charge and one end carries a partial negative charge. If you want to conduct electricity, you would want impurities because water does not ionize (If split by electrophoresis it will form non-ionic molecules H2 and O2). But for simple electrostatic attraction to move droplets around, I think that water would make a great candidate.
This will change diagnostics around the world forever. AMAZING!
Duke university had built this before Sandia, although in a research environment.
They made it they can call it whatever the hell they want. lol
Hi, I am working on DMFB and want to do some experiment with it. Where can I buy the whole system of digital microfuidic?Urgent. Thank you very much.
Can it play Frogger though?
Advanced ,so cute
Why is the guy at 5:16 just syncing to a video?

How do you clean it

This is a few steps away from a synthetic brain
Uh.... Theranos?
Uh, she went to jail because her stuff didn't work. There is a bit of work between concept and working product delivered to the consumer.
You know nothing about the science behind anything.
It's not working on blood or nucleotide containing fluid.
Wow, this is amazing.
Is the idea to create a general purpose lab on a chip, or to construct devices for each type of test?

very good
Cool you can play hydraulic tetris!
