Microchip Electrochromatography

摘要: This thesis is a partial fulfilment of the requirements for obtaining the Ph. D. degree at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The work was carried out at the Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (DTU Nanotech), DTU, from January 2005 to January 2008 in the ChemLabChip group. The Ph. D. project was supervised by Professor Jörg P. Kutter. The Ph. D. study involved a visit to the group of Dr. Stephen C. Jacobson at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA, where I worked with glass to glass bonding that was then utilized for bonding oxidized silicon substrates to glass lids at DTU Nanotech. The Ph. D. study was funded by a DTU stipend.I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Jörg P. Kutter for his inspiration and advice, especially when nothing seemed to be going as planned. I would like to thank all the members of the ChemLabChip group at DTU Nanotech for good friendship during my 4 years in the group. I would especially like to thank Klaus Bo Mogensen who fabricated many of the microdevices and showed great patience in helping me with the design and fabrication. I would also like to thank Detlef Snakenborg for his resourcefulness with any problem brought to him. I would like to thank Fredrik Eriksson for the design and fabrication of the oxidized silicon microchip substrates. I would also like to thank Asger Vig Larsen from the Optofluidics group at DTU Nanotech for helping me with nanoimprint lithography and then assisting in troubleshooting when things went wrong. I would like to thank Stephen C. Jacobson for giving me the opportunity of visiting his group at Indiana University, Bloomington. I would like to thank …
