1. A method, comprising:
- providing a droplet having a first chemical species and a second chemical species on a substrate;
applying a voltage across the droplet to physically repeatedly deform the droplet, wherein the applying causes the droplet to move with respect to an object located therein and at least partially mix the first chemical species and the second chemical species.

Abstract
A method comprising, providing a droplet having a first chemical species and a second chemical species on a substrate, and applying a voltage across the droplet to physically repeatedly deform the droplet. In this embodiment, the applying causes the droplet to move with respect to an object located therein and at least partially mix the first chemical species and the second chemical species.
