title: Drop transfer between superhydrophobic wells using air logic control.
abstract: Superhydrophobic surfaces aid biochemical analysis by limiting sample loss. A system based on wells here tolerated tilting up to 20° and allowed air logic transfer with evidence of mixing. Conditions for intact transfer on 15 to 60 μL drops using compressed air pressure operation were also mapped.
