be sequential. For example, droplet movements for the group {4,9} in
Figure 3.15 can be carried simultaneously, as shown in Figure 3.16. Droplet
movements are carried out one group after another until all the droplet
movements are completed.
Note that the ordering of droplet movements based only on the preceding
grouping strategy can cause electrode interference and inadvertent mixing.
An example is shown in Figure 3.17. The movement of Droplet 2 alone to
the left by activating Column 3 will not influence Droplet 1. Similarly, the
movement of Droplet 1 alone to the right by activating Column 2 will not
