Background:

  • Microchip electrophoresis offers rapid and efficient separation of biomolecules.
  • Linear polyacrylamide is a promising sieving matrix for DNA analysis in microdevices.
  • Quantitative models are needed to optimize microdevice performance for DNA analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a quantitative model for microfabricated electrophoretic devices.
  • To investigate the impact of various separation parameters on DNA resolution.
  • To optimize microdevices for high-throughput single-stranded DNA analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of microfluidic devices.
  • Electrophoretic separation of single-stranded DNA using linear polyacrylamide sieving matrix.
