Abstract

Chemistry can play unique roles in developing novel BioMEMS devices. Besides surface coating and chip materials, chemical tactics often create new functions or improve the performance significantly in many aspects of microchip research. The talk introduces the achievements for microfluidic devices and nanoscience that have been made in my group over the last years. The large part of the presentation is covered by two novel technologies: Polyelectrolytic On-Chip Salt Bridge(PSB) and Fast EO Field-Free Pump(FFP). A brief summary on the fabrication process and fundamental behavior of PSB is delivered and followed by discussion on new opportunities that these technologies suggest. The electrical cytometer is one of the representative applications of PSB. The latter part of the talk deals with the basic principle of FFP and how it works. FFP has great potential for a quick sorting of living cells and of a reversible control of flow containing biological species. Both PSB and FFP can be creatively employed on purposes of cheap, small, fast, but sophisticated bioanalyses on microchips.
