Abstract:
The present invention provides a capillary electrophoresis chip apparatus for detecting nucleotide polymorphism or single nucleotide polymorphism belonging to capillary electrophoresis apparatuses. The apparatus comprises an upper channel layer comprising a one-, two-, or multi-dimensional microfluid channel and an electrode aperture structure for loading sample, a middle electrode layer for sealing the microfluid channel to form an intact capillary and providing the needed voltage for electrophoresis; and a lower heating layer for providing a stable temperature gradient for electrophoresis. The upper, middle and lower layers are thermal conductive and adhesive to each other.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the field of miniaturing gas chromatograph instruments using microfabrication technologies. In particular, the invention provides a gas chromatograph column, which column comprises at least two lid layers and a channel layer, wherein each of said layers comprises a compact material suitable for gas chromatograph, said channel layer comprises microfabricated channels on both sides, said microfabricated channels and a side of said lid layers form at least two capillaries, said at least two capillaries are connected to each other through a hole in said channel layer to form an integrated capillary, said integrated capillary is connected to outside atmosphere on both ends via holes on two outmost lid layers to serve as an inlet and an outlet.
