Fabrication of microfluidic devices using dry film photoresist for microchip capillary electrophoresis

An inexpensive, disposable microfluidic device was fabricated from a dry film photoresist using a combination of photolithographic and hot roll lamination techniques. A microfluidic flow pattern was prefabricated in a dry film photoresist tape using traditional photolithographic methods. This tape became bonded to a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) sheet with prepouched holes when passed through a hot roll laminator. A copper working electrode and platinum decoupler was readily incorporated within this microchip. The integrated microchip device was then fixed in a laboratory-built Plexiglas holder prior to its use in microchip capillary electrophoresis. The performance of this device with amperometric detection for the separation of dopamine and catechol was examined. The separation was complete within 50 s at an applied potential of 200 V/cm. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of analyte migration times were less than 0.71%, and the theoretical plate numbers for dopamine and catechol were 3.2 x 10(4) and 4.1 x 10(4), respectively, based on a 65 mm separation channel.     

Highly enhanced electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose on Cu(OH)2/CuO nanotube arrays modified copper electrode

A highly sensitive and fast-response biosensor based on cupric hydroxide/oxide (Cu(OH)₂/CuO) nanotube arrays (CNA) was successfully fabricated in this work. CNAs were prepared on copper electrode surface by simply immersing copper electrode in an aqueous solution of NaOH and (NH₄)₂S₂O₈. The morphology and the composition of the CNAs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), respectively. The electrocatalytic activity of the CNA modified copper electrodes (CNA/Cu) towards glucose oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The CNA/Cu showed good non-enzymatic electrocatalytic responses to glucose in alkaline media and can be used for the development of enzyme-free glucose sensors.     

Analysis of multiplex PCR fragments with PMMA microchip

Microchip electrophoresis is a promising technique for analysis of bio-molecules. It has the advantages of fast analysis, high sensitivity, high resolution and low-cost of samples. Plastic chip has the potential of mass production for clinical use for its advantages in biocompatibility and low cost. In this work, the method for fabrication of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) chip was described, and conditions for DNA separation were investigated with the chip. The PMMA microchip was used for detection of multiplex PCR products of 18 and 36 cases with SARS and hepatitis B virus infection under optimized separation conditions. Microchip electrophoresis showed higher sensitivity, higher resolution and less time consumption when compared with gel electrophoresis. The microchip electrophoresis with PMMA chip provided a rapid, sensitive and reliable method for analysis of multiplex PCR products.     

A cleaner and simple spectrophotometric micro-fluidic procedure for copper determination using nitroso-R salt as chromogenic agent

A cleaner and simple spectrophotometric method using microflow analysis (muFA) was performed. It consisted of a T-junction with microcoil on a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) chip which was fabricated by laser ablation and a molded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as top plate. The fabricated PMMA chip was integrated with light emitting diode (LED) as light source and spectrometer as detector. The proposed device was applied to determining copper in water samples using nitroso-R salt as chromogenic reagent at 495nm. It was found that the proposed muFA system was with less reagents and samples consumption with tiny waste generation. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was less than 2% (n=11) with the percentage recovery of 98.0+/-1.7% (n=7). The linear range for determination of copper in water samples was over the range of 0.05-3.0mugmL(-1) with a correlation coefficient (r(2)) of 0.999. The limit of detection (3sigma) was 47ngmL(-1) with a sample throughput of 30h(-1).     

Fabrication of column chip made of PMMA for μFIA

We proposed a low cost fabrication procedure of a poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) column chip. 3D microchannel structure consisting of four columns in a chip for a mother die was fabricated using dry film photoresist and photolithography technique. Electroforming was applied to the mother die in order to obtain a Ni mold, then, the pattern was transferred to PMMA by hot press. The column had a dam structure to keep enzyme-immobilized microbeads with volume of 640 nL. The column chip was applied for a micro flow injection analysis (μFIA) system. For a demonstration, we measured lactose using two columns in series. One column was set on upper stream and filled with chitosan microbeads immobilized with β-galactosidase, the other was on downstream and filled with the beads immobilized with glucose oxidase. The lactose detection was accomplished less than 90s after the sample injection. The biosensing system also showed a high performance for lactose detection in wide range of 1 μM to 1mM. These results show that the column chip and our microfluidic biosensing system have the potential to assist minuaturization with small sample volume and short determination time for a sequential analysis.     

In‐plane alloy electrodes for capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection in poly(methylmethacrylate) electrophoretic chips

A simple method for producing PMMA electrophoresis microchips with in‐plane electrodes for capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection is presented. One PMMA plate (channel plate) is embossed with the microfluidic and electrode channels and lamination bonded to a blank PMMA cover plate of equal dimensions. To incorporate the electrodes, the bonded chip is heated to 80°C, above the melting point of the alloy (≈70°C) and below the glass transition temperature of the PMMA (≈105°C), and the molten alloy drawn into the electrode channels with a syringe before being allowed to cool and harden. A 0.5 mm diameter stainless steel pin is then inserted into the alloy filled reservoirs of the electrode channels to provide external connection to the capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection detector electronics. This advance provides for a quick and simple manufacturing process and negates the need for integrating electrodes using costly and time‐consuming thin film deposition methods. No additional detector cell mounting structures were required and connection to the external signal processing electronics was achieved by simply slipping commercially available shielded adaptors over the pins. With a non‐optimised electrode arrangement consisting of a 1 mm detector gap and 100 μm insulating distance, rapid separations of ammonium, sodium and lithium (<22 s) yielded LODs of approximately 1.5–3.5 ppm.     

Low temperature bonding of poly(methylmethacrylate) electrophoresis microchips by in situ polymerisation

A novel method for bonding poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) electrophoresis microchips at the temperature below the glass transition temperature of PMMA based on in situ polymerization has been demonstrated. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) containing initiators was allowed to prepolymerize in an 85 degrees C water bath for 8 min and 15 min to produce a bonding solution and a dense molding solution, respectively. The channel plate of the PMMA microchip was fabricated by the UV-initiated polymerization of the molding solution between a nickel template and a PMMA plate at room temperature. Prior to bonding, the blank cover was coated with a thin layer of the bonding solution and was bonded to the channel plate at 95 degrees C for 20 min under the pressure of binder clips. The attractive performance of the PMMA chips bonded by the new approach has been demonstrated by separating and detecting dopamine, catechol, three cations, and three organic acids in connection with end-column amperometric detection and contactless conductivity detection.     

A new fabrication process for a microchip electrophoresis device integrated with a three-electrode electrochemical detector

We report here a novel and simple process for the fabrication of a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based microchip electrophoresis device, integrated with a screen-printed three-electrode electrochemical detector that does not require a replicate mold. In this approach, a photoresist layer constitutes both an adhesion layer and side walls of 50 mum wide and 50 mum tall microfluidic channels on a screen-printed three-electrode PMMA substrate. Openings were drilled for buffer reservoirs on an additional piece of PMMA, then the final device was bonded in a PMMA/photoresist/PMMA sandwich configuration. This process is inexpensive, less time-consuming, and simpler compared with traditional fabrication methods. The combination of this PMMA-based microchip fabrication together with screen-printed electrode technology holds great promise for the mass production of a single-use micrototal analytical system. Successful determination of uric acid and L-ascorbic acid with the presented system validates its utility. In combination with a suitable electrochemical detector, this device holds much promise for the determination of other analytes in various biological samples for medical and clinical diagnosis.

Single‐step CE for miniaturized and easy‐to‐use system

We developed a novel single‐step capillary electrophoresis (SSCE) scheme for miniaturized and easy to use system by using a microchannel chip, which was made from the hydrophilic material polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), equipped with a capillary stop valve. Taking the surface tension property of liquids into consideration, the capillary effect was used to introduce liquids and control capillary stop valves in a partial barrier structure in the wall of the microchannel. Through the combined action of stop valves and air vents, both sample plug formation for electrophoresis and sample injection into a separation channel were successfully performed in a single step. To optimize SSCE, different stop valve structures were evaluated using actual microchannel chips and the finite element method with the level set method. A partial barrier structure at the bottom of the channel functioned efficiently as a stop valve. The stability of stop valve was confirmed by a shock test, which was performed by dropping the microchannel chip to a floor. Sample plug deformation could be reduced by minimizing the size of the side partial barrier. By dissolving hydroxyl ethyl cellulose and using it as the sample solution, the EOF and adsorption of the sample into the PMMA microchannel were successfully reduced. Using this method, a 100‐bp DNA ladder was concentrated; good separation was observed within 1 min. At a separation length of 5 mm, the signal was approximately 20‐fold higher than a signal of original sample solution by field‐amplified sample stacking effect. All operations, including liquid introduction and sample separation, can be completed within 2 min by using the SSCE scheme.
