Abstract: | Three alkali cations, potassium, sodium, and lithium, have been separated within 15 s in a 1 cm long polymer microchip. The separation microchannel is modified by a polycation, poly(allylammonium chloride), which makes the channel surfaces positively charged leading to a reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF) when compared to bare channels. Due to the decreased apparent mobility of the cations, the separation resolution is improved allowing the use of shorter channels. |
