1. A method for electronically transporting a charged entity in a solution from a first microlocation to a second microlocation, each individual microlocation serving to electronically control transport of said charged entity to a microlocation, comprising the steps of:

  • contacting said first and second microlocations with said solution;

    placing said first microlocation at an opposite charge to said charged entity relative to said second microlocation, thereby transporting said charged entity to said first microlocation;

    thereafter, placing said second microlocation at an opposite charge to said charged entity, relative to said first microlocation, thereby transporting said charged entity from said first microlocation to said second microlocation; and

    attaching said charged entity to one or more of said microlocations.
