Summary:This paper describes an educational kit based on digital microfluidics. A protocol for luminol-based chemiluminescence experiment is reported as a specific example. It also has fluorescent imaging capability and closed humidified enclosure based on an ultrasonic atomizer to prevent evaporation. The kit can be assembled within a short period of time and with minimal training in electronics and soldering. The kit allows both undergraduate/graduate students and enthusiasts to obtain hands-on experience in microfluidics in an intuitive way and be trained to gain familiarity with digital microfluidics.
