Traveling-wave electrophoresis for microfluidic separations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Models and microfluidic experiments are presented of an electrophoretic separation technique in which charged particles whose mobilities exceed a tunable threshold are trapped between the crests of a longitudinal electric wave traveling through a stationary viscous fluid. The wave is created by applying periodic potentials to electrode arrays above and below a microchannel. Predicted average velocities agree with experiments and feature chaotic attractors for intermediate mobilities.

Fabrication and performance of a microfluidic traveling-wave electrophoresis system.
A microfluidic traveling-wave electrophoresis (TWE) system is reported that uses a locally defined traveling electric field wave within a microfluidic channel to achieve band transport and separation. Low voltages, over a range of -0.5 to +0.5 V, are used to avoid electrolysis and other detrimental redox reactions while the short distance between electrodes, ∼25 μm, provides high electric field...
متن کاملSelf-similar nested sequences on a chaotic attractor for traveling-wave electrophoresis.
Oscillating electric potentials are applied to interdigitated arrays of cylindrical electrodes above and below a stationary conducting viscous fluid. The phases of these potentials are chosen to produce a longitudinal traveling wave that traps high-mobility ions and partially traps intermediate-mobility ions in periodic and narrowband chaotic attractors with average velocities that are commensu...

This paper describes fabrication of glass and plastic microfluidic devices for protein separations. Although the long-term goal is to develop a microfluidic device for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, this paper focuses on the first dimension–isoelectric focusing (IEF). A laserinduced fluorescence (LIF) imaging system has been built for imaging an entire channel in an IEF device. The whole-...
