摘要:
Disclosed is a separation column for micro gas chromatography, having superior separation performance and including a microchannel formed on a substrate and having a serpentine shape, and bumps formed on the surface of the microchannel, wherein the bumps are alternately disposed to face each other on the surface of the microchannel. In the separation column for micro gas chromatography, a sufficient pressure drop occurs, and thus an M interaction between a gas mixture to be analyzed and a stationary phase in the column sufficiently takes place, whereby individual gas components are efficiently separated from the gas mixture, discharged from the column, and detected.

Devices for performing liquid extraction of one or more constituents from one fluid to another fluid are provided. In operation, the fluids are separated by channel structures that stabilize the interfacial boundary between the fluids allowing, for example, countercurrent flow and exchange or other flow conditions incompatible with unassisted maintenance of laminar flow. Also provided are channel structures which aid in mixing the fluids. Thin membranes may be formed using liquid extraction devices according to the invention. A process for manufacturing such devices using DRIE is described.

A process for producing a mass transfer device is provided which enables packing of a packing material uniformly in a flow channel, and transfers a specified substance by flowing a fluid containing the specified substance through a flow channel on a substrate. A mass transfer device produced by the process is also provided. The process for producing a mass transfer device comprises steps of preparing a substrate, forming a flow channel on the surface of the substrate, applying a liquid drop composed of a packing material and a liquid medium, and packing the packing material in the flow channel by removing the liquid medium.

A microfluidic detection device provides reduced dispersion of axial concentration gradients in a flowing sample. The microfluidic detection device includes a cell body and a flow path through the cell body. The flow path has an inlet segment, an outlet segment, and a central segment, which forms a detection cell. The central segment is located between and at an angle with both the inlet segment and the outlet segment. The central segment has a first junction with the inlet segment and a second junction with the outlet segment. The cell body contains two arms that can transmit light to and from the detection cell. At least a portion of a first arm is located in the first junction and at least a portion of a second arm is located in the second junction. The portions of the arms located in the junctions are situated so that fluid entering or exiting the central segment of the flow path flows around the outer surface of one of the portions. By ensuring that the flow velocity is high near the walls both at the beginning and at the end of the conduit, the configuration serves to counteract dispersion caused by the normal parabolic velocity profile of flow through a cylindrical conduit, where the fluid velocity is highest at the center. In addition, the configuration promotes efficient sweeping of the entire volume between the two arms. A method for manufacturing the microfluidic detection device is also provided.

摘要:
A temperature programmable microfabricated gas chromatography column enables more efficient chemical separation of chemical analytes in a gas mixture by the integration of a resistive heating element and temperature sensing on the microfabricated column. Additionally, means are provided to thermally isolate the heated column from their surroundings. The small heat capacity and thermal isolation of the microfabricated column improves the thermal time response and power consumption, both important factors for portable microanalytical systems.
摘要:
A low-dispersion methodology for designing microfabricated conduction channels for on-chip electrokinetic-based systems is presented. The technique relies on trigonometric relations that apply for ideal electrokinetic flows, allowing faceted channels to be designed on chips using common drafting software and a hand calculator. Flows are rotated and stretched along the abrupt interface between adjacent regions with differing permeability. Regions bounded by interfaces form flow nullprismsnull that can be combined with other designed prisms to obtain a wide range of turning angles and expansion ratios while minimizing dispersion. Designs are demonstrated using two-dimensional numerical solutions of the Laplace equation.
