Digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) constitute modern generation of Lab-on-Chip (LoC) devices aimed at automation, miniaturization and cost-affordability of biochemistry and laboratory procedures. Over the course of past few years there have been various application-specific and general-purpose DMFBs aimed at reduced manufacturing costs; following the same trend this study presents a general-purpose DMFB with highly competitive characteristics compared with the state-of-the-art DMFBs. The proposed DMFB architecture provides lower Layout / PCB fabrication costs thereby reducing the total manufacturing costs. While more cost-affordable the proposed design is competitive with the state-of-the-art DMFB architectures.
