  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ON-CHIP CHEMICAL SEPARATION AND DETECTION
    Publication number: 20190072493
    Abstract: Microfluidic diatomaceous earth analytical devices (?DADs) comprising highly porous photonic crystal biosilica channels are disclosed. The ?DADs can simultaneously perform on-chip chromatography to separate small molecules from complex samples and acquire the surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra of the target chemicals with high specificity. The ultra-small dimensions of the diatomaceous earth microfluidic channels and the photonic crystal effect from the fossilized diatom frustules allow unprecedented sensitivity down to ppb-level.
