Enabling the Ultraenrichment of Colloidal Particles via Continuous Droplet Manipulation.

ABSTRACT: Concentration and uniform deposition of particles during droplet evaporation remain significant challenges in analytical systems. This natural and appropriate design of the processing steps can effectively bridge the gap between the low-concentration test substance and the accuracy of the test tool and therefore has attracted widespread academic and industrial attention. However, conventional static evaporation faces two major challenges: limited concentration efficiency and nonuniform particle deposition due to the coffee-ring effect. Here, we introduce a "dynamic enrichment" method based on a magnetically actuated droplet manipulation platform, which fundamentally alters the traditional static concentration process. This approach enables both superior enrichment and uniform particle dist
