Tunable electrophoretic separations using a scalable, fabric-based platform.

摘要: There is a rising need for low-cost and scalable platforms sensitive medical diagnostic testing. Fabric weaving mature, manufacturing technology can be used as platform to manufacture microfluidic tests with controlled, tunable flow. Given its scalability, low cost (<$0.25 per device), potential patterning multiplexed channel geometries, fabric viable the development of analytical devices. In this paper, we describe fabric-based electrophoretic protein separation. Appropriate yarns were selected each region device weaved into straight chips in single step. A wide dynamic range analyte molecules ranging from small molecule dyes (<1 kDa) macromolecule proteins (67–150 separated device. Individual behave chromatographic medium electrophoresis. We therefore explored effect yarn parameters on separation resolution. Separation ...
