  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Chiral separation is crucial for pharmaceuticals and biochemistry.
  • Traditional methods often require large sample volumes and complex procedures.
  • Microfluidic systems offer miniaturization and high efficiency for separation processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a high-resolution chiral separation system using microfluidics.
  • To utilize porous membranes with adsorbed biomolecules as a chiral stationary phase.
  • To optimize separation conditions for racemic mixtures.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of microfluidic networks on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrates using capillary molding.
  • Preparation of a chiral stationary phase by adsorbing bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes.
