Droplet-based pyrosequencing

Abstract

The present invention relates to a droplet microactuator and to systems, apparatuses and methods employing the droplet microactuator for executing various protocols using discrete droplets. The invention includes a droplet microactuator or droplet microactuator system having one or more input reservoirs loaded with reagents for conducting biochemical reactions, such as the reagents described for use in nucleic acid amplification protocols, affinity-based assay protocols, sequencing protocols, and protocols for analyses of biological fluids.
