  • Publication number: 20070281322
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light source for irradiating molecules present in a detection volume with one or more selected wavelengths of light and directing the fluorescence, absorbance, transmittance, scattering onto one or more detectors. Molecular interactions with the light allow for the identification and quantitation of participating chemical moieties in reactions utilizing physical or chemical tags, most typically fluorescent and chromophore labels. The invention can also use the light source to separately and simultaneously irradiate a plurality of capillaries or other flow confining structures with one or more selected wavelengths of light and separately and simultaneously detect fluorescence produced within the capillaries or other flow confining structures. In various embodiments, the flow confining structures can allow separation or transportation of molecules and include capillary, micro bore and milli bore flow systems.

  • Publication number: 20050006238
    Abstract: Methods of performing separations in microfluidic devices are provided. The methods include the use of pressure to introduce reagents into the device, mix the reagents or react the reagents, and the use of electrokinetic forces to separate the reagents or products. To achieve improved separation efficiency, the depths of the various microfluidic channels are varied. The pressure driven channels provided are deep in comparison to the separation channels in which flow is electrokinetically driven. Also included are microfluidic devices and integrated systems for performing separations in which pressure driven flow and electrokinetic driven flow are integrated.
