Integrated Separation and Optical Detection for Novel On-Chip Chemical Analysis

چکیده
This report represents the completion of a two-year Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program to investigate miniaturized systems for chemical detection and analysis. The future of advanced chemical detection and analysis is in miniature devices that are able to characterize increasingly complex samples, a "laboratory on a chip". In this concept, chemical operations used to analyze complicated samples in a chemical laboratory--sample handling, species separation, chemical derivitization and detection--are incorporated into a miniature device. By using electrokinetic flow, this approach does not require pumps or valves, as fluids in microfabricated channels can be driven by externally applied voltages. This is ideal for sample handling in miniature devices. This project was to develop truly miniature on-chip optical systems based on vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and diffractive optics. These can be built into a complete system that also has on-chip electrokinetic fluid handling and chemical separation in a microfabricated column. The primary goal was the design and fabrication of an onchip separation column with fluorescence sources and detectors that, using electrokinetic flow, can be used as the basis of an automated chemical analysis system. Secondary goals involved investigation of a dispersed fluorescence module that can be used to extend the versatility of the basic system and on-chip, intracavity laser absorption as a high sensitivity detection technique.
