Integration of monolithic porous polymer with droplet-based microfluidics on a chip for nano/picoliter volume sample analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a porous polymer nanostructure has been integrated with droplet-based microfluidics in a single planar format. Monolithic porous polymer (MPP) was formed selectively within a microfluidic channel. The resulting analyte bands were sequentially comartmentalised into droplets. This device reduces band broadening and the effects of post-column dead volume by the combination of the two techniques. Moreover it offers the precise control of nano/picoliter volume samples.

متن کاملOn-chip Porous Polymer Monoliths for Solid Phase Extraction Using Digital Microfluidics
We present the first use of digital microfluidic techniques to perform on-chip solid phase extraction (SPE). The material used for SPE was a porous polymer monolith with 12-carbon functionality (C12 PPM) which was photopolymerized on-chip and used to desalt a peptide sample prior to nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analysis (nano-ESI-MS). We anticipate this technique may be usefu...
متن کاملOn-chip dilution in nanoliter droplets.
Droplet microfluidics is enabling reactions at nano- and picoliter scale, resulting in faster and cheaper biological and chemical analyses. However, varying concentrations of samples on a drop-to-drop basis is still a challenging task in droplet microfluidics, primarily limited due to lack of control over individual droplets. In this paper, we report an on-chip microfluidic droplet dilution str...
متن کاملInterdroplet bilayer arrays in millifluidic droplet traps from 3D-printed moulds.
In droplet microfluidics, aqueous droplets are typically separated by an oil phase to ensure containment of molecules in individual droplets of nano-to-picoliter volume. An interesting variation of this method involves bringing two phospholipid-coated droplets into contact to form a lipid bilayer in-between the droplets. These interdroplet bilayers, created by manual pipetting of microliter dro...
متن کاملOn-chip sample pretreatment using a porous polymer monolithic column for solid-phase microextraction and chemiluminescence determination of catechins in green tea.
A porous polymer monolithic column for solid-phase microextraction and chemiluminescence detection was integrated into a simple microfluidic chip for the extraction and determination of catechins in green tea. The porous polymer was prepared by poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) and modified with ethylenediamine. Catechins can be concentrated in the porous polymer monolithic...
