Welcome to all of our followers. OpenDrop is an open source project and we welcome collaborators. We are part of a bigger Digital Biology Ecosystem. So deviates, addition and new platforms are welcome.

Here we need you help: The OpenDrop uses a hydrophobic foil to move the droplets. The electrowetting effect used depends strongly on the thickness of the foil. We use Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil, a fluorine-based plastic with a thickness of 12 um (0.012 mm / 0.0005 inch). Thinner is better! -> Who can find a supplier or other source where to get thinner ETFE foil (like 6um, 0.006 mm / 0.00025 inch)?

Please leave you suggestion in the comments. Thanks!
