Electrode Board Designs

Here are some examples of open source electrode board designs created at MISL. They are simply named with a version number. In cases where a new design is an iteration of a previous design with very similar features, a minor version number may be appended; for example v4.1 is an iteration of v4.

MISL v4.1

A fairly generic grid layout, with four reservoirs and a 2x2 heater area, designed for a 50x50mm glass plate. It includes two additional connectors (aside from the main purpledrop connectors) for wiring the resistive heaters and temperature sensors.

MISL v6.2

This board is designed for a 50x75mm top plate, with 5 edge-loaded reservoirs, and four active-pumped inputs. One reservoir is designed specifically for vortex mixing. The four active pumped inputs are designed for fluids pumped into the device via holes in the top-plate.

Here’s a video demo of the active-pumped inputs.
