Fluidic MicroChannel Arrays
Recent advances in combinatorial chemistry and genetic engineering have created an intensive demand to analyze large numbers but small amount of compounds quickly. To provide a solution, MISL lab presents the first generation prototype of a modular, microfabricated separation and detection microsystem capable of parallel chemical separation and analysis of analytes. The two primary modules of the microsystem are: 1) a capillary electrophoresis (CE) module for sample separation, and 2) an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) module for optical detection. Additionally, the two modules are equipped with fluidic multi-interconnections to interface the modules to each other and/or the external world. Detail of the device will soon be published in Biomedical Microdevices.
