Trapping of bead-based reagents within microfluidic systems: on-chip solid-phase extraction and electrochromatography
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 330-pL chromatographic bed was fabricated on a glass substrate as part of an electroosmotically pumped microfluidic system. Two weirs within a sample channel formed a cavity in which octadecylsilane (ODS) coated silica beads (1.5-4 microns diameter) were trapped. ODS beads were mobilized into and out of the cavity using electroosmotic flow through a bead-introduction channel which accessed the cavity. This procedure allowed the beads in the cavity to be repeatedly exchanged. A 1 nM solution of a nonpolar analyte (BODIPY 493/503) in buffer was loaded onto the beads for different lengths of time using an electroosmotic flow of 1.2 nL/s. The material retained on the ODS phase was then eluted by electroosmotic flow of acetonitrile with a concentration enhancement of up to 500 times. Capillary electrochromatography was conducted using a similar device. BODIPY and fluorescein were loaded onto a 200-micron-long chromatographic bed and then separated in an isocratic CEC run with an acetonitrile/buffer mobile phase. Complete separation was achieved in less than 20 s with a 2-micron plate height.

In this letter, we report a simple microfluidic device that integrates the capture of bacterial cells using a microscale bead array and the rapid electrical lysis for release of intracellular materials. We study the retention of Escherichia coli cells with different concentrations in this type of bead array and the optimal electrical parameters for the electroporative release of intracellular p...
متن کاملHeterogeneous immunoassays using magnetic beads on a digital microfluidic platform.
A digital microfluidic platform for performing heterogeneous sandwich immunoassays based on efficient handling of magnetic beads is presented in this paper. This approach is based on manipulation of discrete droplets of samples and reagents using electrowetting without the need for channels where the droplets are free to move laterally. Droplet-based manipulation of magnetic beads therefore doe...
