Background:

Microfluidic devices are crucial for chemical analysis.
Efficient separation and detection of analytes like endocrine disruptors (EDs) and heavy metal ions (HMIs) remain challenging.
Existing methods often require complex sample preparation or lack sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and characterize a novel electrochemical potential modulated microchannel (EPMM) device for enhanced separation and detection.
To investigate the performance of the EPMM device using EDs and HMIs as model analytes.
To optimize analytical parameters for improved separation efficiency and detection limits.

Main Methods:

Development of an EPMM device utilizing screen-printed carbon electrodes.
Application of alternating current (AC) potential to microchannel walls for analyte manipulation.
Systematic study of AC amplitude, frequency, flow rate, buffer concentration, pH, detection potential, and temperature.
Evaluation of separation efficiency using theoretical plate number, retention time, and half-peak width.

Main Results:

The EPMM device successfully separated and detected EDs and HMIs.
Optimized parameters led to increased effective concentration and sharp flow fronts.
Achieved linear calibration ranges from 0.15 to 250.0 nM for EDs (LOD 86.4 ± 2.9 pM) and 0.01 to 10.0 nM for HMIs (LOD 9.5 ± 0.3 pM).
Demonstrated successful application with authentic and real-world samples.

Conclusions:

The EPMM device provides a simple, effective, and sensitive platform for the separation and detection of target analytes.
The developed system shows significant potential for environmental monitoring and chemical analysis.
This technology offers a promising advancement in microfluidic-based analytical systems.
