Fabrication and electroosmotic flow measurements in micro- and nanofluidic channels
An easy method for fabricating microand nanofluidic channels, entirely made of a thermally grown silicon dioxide is presented. The nanochannels are up to 1-mm long and have widths and heights down to 200 nm, whereas the microfluidic channels are 20-lm wide and 4.8-lm high. The nanochannels are created at the interface of two silicon wafers. Their fabrication is based on the expansion of growing...
متن کاملElectroosmotic Flow in Nanofluidic Channels
We report the measurement of electroosmotic mobilities in nanofluidic channels with rectangular cross sections and compare our results with theory. Nanofluidic channels were milled directly into borosilicate glass between two closely spaced microchannels with a focused ion beam instrument, and the nanochannels had half-depths (h) of 27, 54, and 108 nm and the same half-width of 265 nm. We measu...
متن کاملFabrication and Electroosmotic Flow Analysis of Freely-Suspended, 3D Microchannels
Suspended microchannels suitable for electroosmotic flow were fabricated by coating and dissolving sacrificial polymer fibers created by a new technique which involves using a pressurized syringe loaded with solution to directly deposit filaments of solution on the substrate in a “connect-the-dots” style. Additionally, because both the stylus and syringe were controlled with an ultra-high preci...
متن کاملDirect and indirect electroosmotic flow velocity measurements in microchannels.
As microfluidic technologies mature, increasingly complex solutions are employed, and accurate methods for the measurement of electroosmotic flow rates are becoming increasingly important. The methodologies of both a direct method and an indirect method of flow rate measurement are presented here. The direct method involves flow visualization using trace amounts of a caged fluorescent dye. The ...
متن کاملA Fabrication Method for Integrating Electrodes in Nanofluidic Channels
Nanofluidic channels are unique bioanalytical tools that can separate, detect, analyze and concentrate biomolecules. Embedding electodes in such systems increases the functionality by allowing for unique flow control, label-free sensing, and concentration enhancement. In this work, we describe the fabrication process of nanofluidic channels with integrated electrodes, as well as the characteriz...
