Epilog
The place and importance of digital microfluidics in the development of microsystems have been pointed out through this book. It has been seen that the advantages of such systems are related to the reduction of the liquid volumes to be handled; besides, their high potential for reconfigurability has been shown by Chakrabarty [1]. With the background acquired through the different chapters, a reflection on digital microfluidics and on its most needed and promising developments can be started. Questions such as “can miniaturization be pushed further?” and “what are the next developments that will extend the field of applications of digital microfluidics?” can reasonably be raised.
Of course, the answer to these questions is not straightforward ...
