Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently Digital Microfluidic Biochips (DMFBs) have been studied intensively. DMFBs can execute biochemical experiments very efficiently. In biochemical experiments on a DMFB, "sample preparation" is an important task to generate a sample droplet with the desired concentration value. We merge/split droplets in a DMFB to perform sample preparation. When we split a droplet into two droplets, the split cannot be done evenly in some cases. By some unbalanced splits, the generated concentration value may have unacceptable errors. This paper shows that we can decrease the errors caused by unbalanced splits if we transform the corresponding mixing graph. We also propose an efficient method to transform a mixing graph in order to decrease the errors caused by unbiased splits.
