The movement and mixing of microdroplets through microchannels is described employing silicon-based microscale devices, comprising microdroplet transport channels, reaction regions, electrophoresis modules, and radiation detectors. The discrete droplets are differentially heated and propelled through...http://www.google.de/patents/US20010046703?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20010046703 - Microscale devices and reactions in microscale devices
