Microfluidic Chip-capillary Electrophoresis with Ad- Justable On-chip Sample Dilution for Profiling of Urinary Markers

چکیده
The paper reports the development of a microfluidic chip-capillary electrophoresis device using UV/Vis detection for profiling of urinary markers with adjustable on-chip sample dilution. A PMMA polymer microfluidic chip-CE device with on-chip ferrofluid valve control for adjustable sample dilution is developed for profiling of urinary markers related to metabolism disorders for clinical diagnosis. On-chip sample dilution up to a 100 folds can be achieved prior to separation in a running buffer containing 3mM 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTA), 1.5 mM tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and 15mM tris(hydroxyl) aminomethane (Tris buffer) solution with pH adjusted to 8.4 by lithium hydroxide.

Isoelectric focusing (IEF) is a powerful and widely used technique for protein separation and purification. There are many embodiments of microscale IEF that use capillary or microfluidic chips for the analysis of small sample volumes. Nevertheless, collecting the separated sample volumes without causing remixing remains a challenge. Herein, we describe a microfluidic Slipchip device that is ab...
