    Abstract: Alternative approaches to fabricating printed circuit boards for use in droplet actuator operations are provided. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a droplet actuator for conducting droplet operations includes positioning a dielectric material between a first metal layer configured to include an electrode and a second metal layer configured to include an interconnect pad. The method additionally includes forming a connection between the first and second metal layers. Droplet actuators and methods of fabricating and supporting printed circuit boards of droplet actuators are also provided.

    Abstract: Approaches to configuring and wiring electrodes in a droplet actuator are provided. Droplet actuators employing the designs of the invention are useful for conducting a variety of droplet operations. In one set of embodiments, the droplet actuator of the invention includes various single-layer wiring configurations for mitigating the constraints and drawbacks that are associated with single-layer designs, such as wireability constraints, limited mechanisms for performing droplet operations, electrostatic interference from wires, and any combinations thereof. In another set of embodiments, the droplet actuator of the invention includes a reference electrode that is situated on one substrate that is separated by a gap from a second substrate and one or more control electrodes that are situated on the second substrate. The control electrodes may be placed such that the second substrate is interposed between the control electrodes and the first substrate.

    Abstract: The invention provides methods for gene synthesis and error correction on a droplet actuator. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for performing polymerase-mediated gene synthesis on a droplet actuator. The polymerase-mediated gene synthesis method uses oligonucleotide hybridization and PCR cycling to generate a pool of synthesized DNA strands, which may be subsequently enriched for the correct gene sequence.
