DMF setup for path contamination tests. a Three different files are spotted at different locations on the cartridge. Three retrieval droplets are initiated on the DMF device. Droplet 1 is moved to the north-most file. b Droplet 1 moves to its final coordinate. Droplet 2 then moves to the west-most file, passing two electrodes Droplet 1 had moved across. c Droplet 2 moves to its final coordinate. Droplet 3 moves to the south-most file, using a part of the path both droplets 1 and 2 had used. d Droplet 3 moves to its final coordinate for manual retrieval and analysis
