PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide nanochannel arrays suitable for high throughput macromolecular analysis.SOLUTION: A nanochannel array 100 comprises a surface 102 having a plurality of channels 104 in the material of the surface. The channels have a trench width of less than about 150 nanometers and a trench depth of less than 200 nanometers. The channels are surmounted by sealing material 108 to render such channels at least substantially enclosed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microchemical chip device capable of eliminating work to apply an agent to the wall surface of a microchannel. SOLUTION: As shown in Fig.2(a), two laminar flows (i.e. a particle-containing solution A 1 and a buffer solution A 3 ) are supplied in a microchannel 20 in a microchemical chip device, and a gel including an agent A 2 is supplied to a location that contacts to the buffer solution A 3 . The reaction is started by the contact of a fine particle in the particle-containing solution A 1 to the gel including an agent A 2 . However, the reaction is not started by the separation due to the buffer solution A 3 in the state shown in Fig.2(a). When the buffer solution A 3 is stopped supplying in this condition, the particle-containing solution A 1 and the gel including an agent A 2 are contacted each other shown in Fig.2(c), which enables fixed point observation for the reaction of the particle containing and the agent. This device, which is not necessary to apply the wall surface of the microchannel 20 and is satisfied by supplying the gel A 2 including an agent from a supply channel 22, enables elimination of agent application.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for the fabrication of microscale, including micron and sub-micron scale, including nanoscale, devices. Electronic transport of movable component devices is utilized through a fluidic medium to effect transport to a desired target location on a substrate or motherboard. Forces include electrophoretic force, electroosmotic force, electrostatic force and/or dielectrophoretic force. In the preferred embodiment, free field electroosmotic forces are utilized either alone, or in conjunction with, other forces. These forces may be used singly or in combination, as well as in conjunction with yet other forces, such as fluidic forces, mechanical forces or thermal convective forces. Transport may be effected through the use of driving electrodes so as to transport the component device to yet other connection electrodes. In certain embodiments, the component devices may be attached to the target device using a solder reflow step.
