Template-assisted fabrication of moon-shaped channels for protein breakthrough analysis
Cylindrical column with packed stationary phase is the workhorse of liquid chromatography systems. These stationary phases are commonly classified on the basis of different form factors namely, beads and monoliths for protein chromatography. Monolithic rods are one of the important geometries derived from polymers through complex polymerization schemes with additional requirements such as cross-linkers and specific reaction conditions. To address these practical difficulties and enable ease of fabrication at laboratory scale, acrylic copolymers are hypothesized to perform as a monolithic stationary phase suitable for protein chromatography. The present work proposes a rapid fabrication technique to obtain monolithic rods that could be reconditioned without any of the above additional steps. It is characterized with monolith diameter that could be controlled using acrylic copolymer concentration. Formation of the copolymeric stationary phase inside microchannel led to annular geometry and in turn, demonstrated fabrication of moon-shaped channels (MSCs) for the first time in literature. An online monitoring system facilitated tracer breakthrough analysis with MSCs to report sharp peak front and an estimate of channel void volume. Breakthrough curves with single protein validated the selection of blue dextran as tracer and indicated retention of proteins due to electrostatic interactions on the functional copolymer surface.
期刊介绍:
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish papers in all aspects of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip science and technology. The objectives of the journal are to (1) provide an overview of the current state of the research and development in microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices, (2) improve the fundamental understanding of microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena, and (3) discuss applications of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices. Topics covered in this journal include:
1.000 Fundamental principles of micro- and nanoscale phenomena like,
flow, mass transport and reactions
3.000 Theoretical models and numerical simulation with experimental and/or analytical proof
4.000 Novel measurement & characterization technologies
5.000 Devices (actuators and sensors)
6.000 New unit-operations for dedicated microfluidic platforms
7.000 Lab-on-a-Chip applications
8.000 Microfabrication technologies and materials
Please note, Microfluidics and Nanofluidics does not publish manuscripts studying pure microscale heat transfer since there are many journals that cover this field of research (Journal of Heat Transfer, Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, etc.).
