Research Abstract	Droplet manipulation using liquid-dielectrophoresis has large potential for biological/chemical applications with micro-scale reactions. In this research, I have developed a droplet-based microreactor and optimized the device materials. The main results are as follows ;(1) Drop let formation in the range of femto-pico liters(2) Demonstration of an enzyme reaction with 200 pico liter droplets.
