Electrophoretic device and method to separate and detect analyte ions

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1998481
This invention is directed to an inexpensive, miniaturized, portable, low-power device and method for electrophoretic separation and electrochemical detection of an analyte, including different isotopes of the same element. The invention replaces a conventional or microfabricated capillary electrophoresis tube with a microchip comprising an array of parallel electrophoretic separation nanotubes or aligned hollow channels fabricated in a porous substrate.
