Fabrication of quartz microchips with optical slit and development of a linear imaging UV detector for microchip electrophoresis systems

We have developed quartz microchips for electrophoresis and a linear imaging UV detector along with the microchip. The microchips have an optical slit, which cut off the stray light in order to improve the sensitivity of UV absorption detection on the chip, at the bonding interface. They have been successfully fabricated on synthesized quartz glass substrates using the hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution bonding method. The signal level of UV absorption detection was effectively improved by applying microchips with the "on-chip" optical slit. It is also possible to improve the signal-to-noise ratio by repetitive scanning of linear photodiode array located along the separation channel, and signal averaging during elimination of the potential. Furthermore, the analysis may be performed until the separation of the target component is complete, because the real-time migration pattern of each component in the sample can be seen just as in a slab-gel electrophoresis, thus enabling a shorter analysis time.     

Fabrication and evaluation of single- and dual-channel (Pi-design) microchip electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

A new dual-channel microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE) has been developed on glass substrates for the first time with electrochemical detection. Dual-channel (called Pi-design) as well as single-channel microchips have been fabricated on soda-lime glass using photolithography, wet etching and thermal bonding. Moreover, a laser writing system has been applied for the fabrication of photomasks with the different microchip designs (single- and dual-channel configurations). The microfabricated channels have been characterized by optical, confocal and scanning electron microscopy. The resulting single- and dual-channel microchips have been evaluated using an end-channel amperometric detector based on one (single-channel) or two (dual-channel) 100-mum gold wires aligned at the outlet of the separation channel. Parameters affecting the separation of several phenolic compounds (dopamine, p-aminophenol and hydroquinone) have been studied in the glass microchips. Thus, the influence of separation voltage, detection potential and background electrolyte has been examined in the single-channel microchip. Different total length microchannel has been compared. Furthermore, the possibility of carrying out two simultaneous measurements has been demonstrated in the new dual-channel microchip electrophoresis. The injection format has been checked and resulted to be critical, in such a way that a special and new form is employed for obtaining simultaneous signals at both channels. Analytical characteristics, such as sensitivity and reproducibility have been evaluated and resulted very adequate.     

Poly（dimethylsiloxane） Microchips with Two Sharpened Stretching Tips and Its Application to Protein Separation Using Dynamic Coating

An integrated poly（dirnethylsiloxane） （PDMS） microchip with two sharpened stretching tips for convenient sample injecting, running buffer refreshing and channel cleaning has been presented. The sample was directly introduced into the separation channel through the stretching inlet tip without complicated power switching supplies and injection cross channel. The operation of running buffer refreshing or channel cleaning was simplified by vacuuming one end of the tip and placing the other tip into the solution vial. Therefore, this fabrication method can be easily applied to most analytical laboratories economically without soft lithography and plasma bonding equipments. The attractive performance of the novel PDMS microchips has been demonstrated by using laser-induced fluorescence detection for separation of proteins. The addition of 0.04% Brij 35 in 0.04 mol/L phosphate buffer （pH 7.0） can reduce the adhesion of proteins in multienzyme tablet and make separation more easily. The electroosmotic flow （EOF） exhibits pH-independence in the range of 3-1 1 in dynamic modified microchannel.     

Hot embossing of electrophoresis microchannels in PMMA substrates using electric heating wires

A simple method based on electric heating wires has been developed for the rapid fabrication of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) electrophoresis microchips in ordinary laboratories without the need for microfabrication facilities. A piece of stretched electric heating wire placed across the length of a PMMA plate along its midline was sandwiched between two microscope slides under pressure. Subsequently, alternating current was allowed to pass through the wire to generate heat to emboss a separation microchannel on the PMMA separation channel plate at room temperature. The injection channel was fabricated using the same procedure on a PMMA sheet that was perpendicular to the separation channel. The complete microchip was obtained by bonding the separation channel plate to the injection channel sheet, sealing the channels inside. The electric heating wires used in this work not only generated heat; they also served as templates for embossing the microchannels. The prepared microfluidic microchips have been successfully employed in the electrophoresis separation and detection of ions in connection with contactless conductivity detection.     

Solvent bonding of poly(methyl methacrylate) microfluidic chip using phase-changing agar hydrogel as a sacrificial layer

In this report, a solvent bonding method based on phase-changing agar hydrogel has been developed for the fabrication of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic chips. Prior to bonding, the channels and the reservoir ports on PMMA channel plates were filled with molten agar hydrogel that could gelate to form solid sacrificial layers at room temperature. Subsequently, PMMA cover sheets were covered on the channeled plates and 1,2-dichlororethane was applied to the interspaces between them. The agar hydrogel in the channels could prevent the bonding solvent and the softened surface of the PMMA cover sheets from filling in the channels. After solvent bonding, the agar hydrogel in the channels and the reservoir ports was melted and removed under pressure. The sealed channels in the complete microchips had been examined by an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that high-quality bonding was achieved at room temperature. The prepared microfluidic microchips have been successfully employed in the electrophoresis separation and detection of three cations in combination with contactless conductivity detection.     

Recent innovations in protein separation on microchips by electrophoretic methods

Microchips for analytical purposes have attracted great attention over the last 20 years. In the present review, we focus on the most recent development of microchips for electrophoretic separation of proteins. This review starts with a short recalling about the microchips covering the basic microchip layout for CE and the commercial chips and microchip platforms. A short paragraph is dedicated to the surface treatment of microchips, which is of paramount importance in protein analysis. One section is dedicated to on-line sample pretreatment in microchips and summarizes different strategies to pre-concentrate or to purify proteins from complex matrixes. Most of the common modes used for CE of proteins have already been adapted to the chip format, while multidimensional approaches are still in progress. The different routes to achieve detection in microchip are also presented with a special attention to derivatization or labeling of proteins. Finally, several recent applications are mentioned. They highlight the great potential of electrophoretic separations of proteins in numerous fields such as biological, pharmaceutical or agricultural and food analysis. A bibliography with 151 references is provided covering papers published from 2000 to the early 2007.     

On-line chemiluminescence detection for isoelectric focusing of heme proteins on microchips

In this paper we present a sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) detection of heme proteins coupled with microchip IEF. The detection principle was based on the catalytic effects of the heme proteins on the CL reaction of luminol-H2O2 enhanced by para-iodophenol. The glass microchip and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)/glass microchip for IEF were fabricated using micromachining technology in the laboratory. The modes of CL detection were investigated and two microchips (glass, PDMS/glass) were compared. Certain proteins, such as cytochrome c, myoglobin, and horseradish peroxidase, were focused by use of Pharmalyte pH 3-10 as ampholytes. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose was added to the sample solution in order to easily reduce protein interactions with the channel wall as well as the EOF. The focused proteins were transported by salt mobilization to the CL detection window. Cytochrome c, myoglobin, and horseradish peroxidase were well separated within 10 min on a glass chip and the detection limits (S/N=3) were 1.2x10(-7), 1.6x10(-7), and 1.0x10(-10) M, respectively.     

Plasticizer-assisted bonding of poly(methyl methacrylate) microfluidic chips at low temperature

As an important phthalate plasticizer, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) was employed to decrease the bonding temperature of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic chips in this work based on the fact that it can lower the glass transition temperature of PMMA. The channel plates of the PMMA microchips were fabricated by the UV-initiated polymerization of prepolymerized methyl methacrylate between a silicon template and a PMMA plate. Prior to bonding, DBP solution in isopropanol was coated on PMMA covers. When isopropanol in the coating was allowed to evaporate in air, DBP was left on the PMMA covers. Subsequently, the DBP-coated covers were bonded to the PMMA channel plates at 90 °C for 10 min under pressure. The channels in the complete microchips had been examined by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that high quality bonding was achieved below the glass transition temperature of PMMA (∼105 °C). The performance of the PMMA microfluidic chips sealed by plasticizer-assisted bonding has been demonstrated by separating and detecting ionic species by capillary electrophoresis in connection with contactless conductivity detection.     

A rejuvenation method for poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-coated glass microfluidic chips

As microfluidic chips come to integrate the higher levels of functionality required for the implementation of advanced bioanalytical protocols, a crucial factor is that of cost. Although glass chips provide advantages in multilayer integrations, their cost is far higher than that of polymer chips. However, a simple and effective rejuvenation protocol for glass microchips may enable higher levels of integration and functionality on glass microchips. Here we present a method to rejuvenate glass microchips that had been used for capillary electrophoresis to the extent that their performance was degraded. This degradation was due to one of the two mechanisms: (i) a deterioration of the polymer coating on the inner surface of the microchannel or (ii) an aging of the glass substrate. Using the method presented here, we have rejuvenated more than 50 such "aged" microchips. The performance of these microchips was fully restored after the rejuvenation and lasted for hundreds of DNA separation runs. Our experiments indicate that the loss of resolution in microchip separations was not associated with glass aging, but was due to the degradation of the polymer coating on the inner surface of microchannels. This suggests that it is possible to extend the microchip lifetime "forever" using the rejuvenation protocol and that the exploration of higher levels of integration and functionality on glass microchips (or of hybrid structures involving materials capable of withstanding the reagents and elevated temperatures used) is feasible.
