Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020259817A1] A cartridge, in particular a disposable cartridge, for use in an electrowetting sample processing system. The cartridge comprises a liquid input port (19') for introducing an input liquid into an internal gap of the cartridge, the input liquid providing for at least one droplet (23), directly or via a liquid separation process within the internal gap, and the internal gap comprising at least one hydrophobic surface, at least one processing zone (78) for processing samples (80) located in the processing zone (78), and a delivery zone (74) for delivering the at least one droplet (23) from the liquid input port (19') to the at least one processing zone (78). The delivery zone (74) is configured to provide a repeating pattern of interacting electrowetting force for simultaneously transporting the at least one droplet (23) within the delivery zone (74).
