Title: Volumetric micro-injector for capillary electrophoresis

Abstract

A volumetric microfluidic injector for capillary electrophoresis (CE) for highly repeatable sample injection has been designed and built to eliminate known injection bias in hydrodynamic injection. A defined volume from 1-10 nL or 0.1-100 nL of sample is confined in a defined region of a micro-valve PDMS microfluidic injector chip and electrophoretic potential is applied to drive sample into a separation device such as an embedded fused silica capillary for separation and detection. Using a 75 μm ID capillary, the RSD of an absorbance peak area as low as 1.32% (n=11) is obtained. As a comparison, the time-dependent injection was tested using the same chip which resulted in an inferior repeatability.
