Multilayered Digital Microfluidic Chip for Cell‐Based Assays
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A multilayered digital microfluidic (mDMF) chip architecture is introduced to improve throughput and robustness in cell‐based assays. By multilayering electrode components and dielectric layers on glass, this design significantly reduces actuation voltage, maintains reliability, and enables expansion of the operational area with minimum current leakage.

Femtosecond‐Laser Mould Texturing Enables Tunable Biointerfaces in COC Microfluidics
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Femtosecond‐laser texturing of injection‐mould inserts enables scalable engineering of biointerfaces in cyclic olefin copolymer microfluidics. Replicated micro‐ and nano‐topographies modulate surface roughness and wettability, leading to texture‐dependent protein adsorption and cell adhesion without chemical post‐processing.
