R&D Projects

In addition to our current sieving matrix products, which we continue to develop, we have the long-term goal of developing additional products:

1. Polymer coatings for capillaries and microfluidic devices;

2. A novel electrophoresis method that offers faster analysis than capillary gel electrophorsis and is ideally suited for the shorter separation lengths of microfluidic chips;

3. A "lab-on-a-chip" device for protein profiling and analysis of individual proteins in complex samples using a hybrid two-dimentional capillary and microfluidic chip electrophoresis technique.

Expertise

We have extensive experience with laser-induced fluorescence detection, capillary electrophoresis, microfabricated electrophoresis chips using silica substrate, polymer coatings for silica substrate, entangled linear polymers for capillary sieving matrices, and latex beads attached to DNA fragments and oligos.
