This document describes a microfluidic cell device for merging droplets using dielectrophoretic and flow focusing techniques. The device has aqueous and oil phases that flow into electrodes on a polydimethylsiloxane surface to form droplets, which are then merged using an applied electric field between the electrodes. Droplets are formed and merged within the microfluidic cell structure that is approximately 300 by 50 microns.
