چکیده
In Section 1.3 of the paper, we presented an unsteady, diffusion-free model to calculate species concentrations and shock speeds in ITP. We also showed (in Figure 2 of paper) comparison of our model with detailed 1-dimensional simulations using SPRESSO [1,2]. Here we describe the numerical procedure to calculate species concentrations in different ITP zones using our diffusionfree model. In Section 1.3 we derived Hugoniot jump conditions relating concentrations of each species across ITP shocks,

High-sensitivity detection using isotachophoresis with variable cross-section geometry.
We present a theoretical and experimental study on increasing the sensitivity of ITP assays by varying channel cross-section. We present a simple, unsteady, diffusion-free model for plateau mode ITP in channels with axially varying cross-section. Our model takes into account detailed chemical equilibrium calculations and handles arbitrary variations in channel cross-section. We have validated o...
متن کاملDetection of 100 aM fluorophores using a high-sensitivity on-chip CE system and transient isotachophoresis.
We present a highly sensitive capillary electrophoresis (CE) assay that combines transient, single-interface on-chip isotachophoresis (ITP) and a laser-induced confocal fluorescence detection setup. We performed experimental parametric studies to show the effects of microscope objective specifications and intensity of excitation laser on optimization of a high-sensitivity on-chip CE detection s...

متن کاملOn-chip Isotachophoresis and Functionalized Hydrogel Capture for Sensitive Micro-rna Detection
We integrate on-chip isotachophoresis (ITP) and photopatterned functionalized hydrogels to perform rapid high-sensitivity detection of nucleic acids. We use ITP to enhance hybridization kinetics between target microRNAs and reporter oligos and remove excess reporters with a functionalized polyacrylamide capture gel. We achieve over 4000-fold background signal reduction, ~1 pM sensitivity, 4 ord...
متن کاملIntegration of on-chip isotachophoresis and functionalized hydrogels for enhanced-sensitivity nucleic acid detection.
We introduce an on-chip electrokinetic assay to perform high-sensitivity nucleic acid (NA) detection. This assay integrates electrokinetic sample focusing using isotachophoresis (ITP) with a background signal-removal strategy that employs photopatterened, DNA-functionalized hydrogels. In this multistage assay, ITP first enhances hybridization kinetics between target NAs and end-labeled compleme...
