Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a microfluidic device comprising a plurality of N independently controllable components each having at least a first terminal and a second terminal with an external controller, the method comprising: sending a first current to a first independently controllable component through a first lead connecting to a plurality of first terminals of a first group of the independently controllable components; receiving a first current from the first independently controllable component through a second lead connecting to a plurality of second terminals of a second group of independently controllable components, wherein the first current corresponds to heating of the reaction chamber; sending a second current to a second independently controllable component through a third lead connecting a plurality of first terminals of a third group of independently controllable components; and, receiving a second current from the second independently controllable component through a fourth lead connecting to a plurality of second terminals of a fourth group of independently controllable components.
