assume that a module placement on a 16 × 16 microfluidic array has also been
given a priori, as shown in Figure 3.26.
To find suitable droplet routes for this biochip, the routing problem is
decomposed into 11 subproblems, as highlighted in Figure 3.26. For each
subproblem, a droplet-routing plan is generated using the routing algo-
rithm in [27]. Next, we apply the proposed grouping-based manipulation
method to implement the routing plan. For comparison, the grouping-based
