Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Microfluidics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Isotachophoresis (ITP) is a powerful separation technique.
  • Paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) offer low-cost, portable diagnostic solutions.
  • Effective heat management is crucial for high-field ITP in microfluidic devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for isotachophoretic sample focusing.
  • To enable rapid analysis and high concentration increases using ITP on paper.
  • To provide a design guide for low-cost, sensitive paper-based diagnostic platforms.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of shallow channels using wax printing for efficient Joule heat dissipation.
  • Development of an analytical model for isotachophoretic sample accumulation in porous media.
  • Experimental validation of the μPAD in both paper and glass channels.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a 1000-fold increase in peak concentration for 30 μL samples in 6 minutes.
  • Achieved effective Joule heat dissipation enabling high electric fields and short analysis times.
  • Developed a figure of merit for evaluating device efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The developed μPAD is self-contained, requiring no specialized enclosures or cooling.
  • This technology facilitates rapid, highly sensitive, and low-cost paper-based diagnostic platforms.
  • The findings provide a roadmap for designing advanced microfluidic diagnostic devices.
