Fig. 2. — SECAD schematic and operation. (A) Main components in cutaway (not to scale for clarity). Primary layers are labeled to the right. Letters indicate: (a) spacers; (b) holes from which droplets/bridges protrude; (c) wire interconnects to power supply; (d) electrodes; (e) epoxy seal; (f) fluid reservoir; (g) luer connector as reservoir continuation and filling port; (h) reservoir meniscus, depending on configuration; and (i) representative support post. (B) Operation of device with no substrate present. Also see Movie S3. (B.i.) is just before voltage pulse, t = 0 s, (B.ii.) is at t = 2.0 s. Device has ϵ = 440 μm, N = 100, V ≈ 12.5 V ().
