Debashis Dutta, University of Wyoming, and J. Michael Ramsey, University of North Carolina, have developed a microfluidic device with a miniaturized hydraulic pump capable of performing pressure-driven separations.
The microfluidics-based liquid chromatographic system can also inject samples and has a response time in the order of 100 ms, offering a significant advantage over those with external pumps and correspondingly large dead volumes and equilibration times.
As with all our hot articles, this one’s free to access for 4 weeks – why not take a look:
