    摘要: This invention relates to a detection method and apparatus useful in capillary electrophoresis and capillary chromatography that employs an array of solid state detector such as a charge-coupled device operating in the time-delayed integration mode which allows more exposure time of the moving analyte zones. The CCD is synchronized so that after a normal exposure of the CCD, the charge information in every row of the CCD is shifted toward one end of the CCD and the charge/signal information in the last row is quantified. Applying the CCD and the time-delayed integration method in effect increases the effective sampling volume of the flow cell without introducing band broadening. Use of the CCD as a fluorescence detection in capillary electrophoresis separations allows analytes to be differentiated both in migration time and fluorescence emission, yielding detection limits for fluorophores in the 1-8.times.10.sup.-20 mole range.

    摘要: A fluid circuit includes a membrane having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a pore extending from the first side to the second side. The circuit also includes a first channel containing fluid extending along the first side of the membrane and a second channel containing fluid extending along the second side of the membrane and crossing the first channel. The circuit also includes an electrical source in electrical communication with at least one of the first fluid and second fluid for selectively developing an electrical potential between fluid in the first channel and fluid in the second channel. This causes at least one component of fluid to pass through the pore in the membrane from one of the first channel and the second channel to the other of the first channel and the second channel.

    摘要: A thin discontinuous layer of metal such as Au, Pt, or Au/Pd is deposited on a Group III-V material surface. The surface is then etched in a solution including HF and an oxidant for a preferably brief period, as little as a couple seconds to one hour. A preferred oxidant is H2O2. Morphology and light emitting properties of porous Group III-V material can be selectively controlled as a function of the type of metal deposited, doping type, doping level, metal thickness, whether emission is collected on or off the metal coated areas and/or etch time. Electrical assistance is unnecessary during the chemical etching of the invention, which may be conducted in the presence or absence of illumination.
