Abstract

Simulations are needed to predict various parameters for chemical reactions and error propagation in microfluidic networks. This paper studies the impact of the order of microreactors implementing a fluidic network on the error in solutions for Boolean expressions. Additionally, we present a computer program that augments the software toolkit introduced in our previous work. The program is useful for simulating microfluidics; we present an example from DNA computing. It monitors the concentration of every molecule throughout the fluidic network and assists in predicting how the layout of the network contributes to the error in the DNA computation.
