title = "Continuous microfluidic dna and protein trapping and concentration by balancing transverse electrokinetic forces",
abstract = "A continuous DNA and protein concentration method is demonstrated employing uniform direct-current (DC) fields applied transversally across a microchannel. Negatively charged samples are conjunctly infused in a converging Y-inlet with a receiving buffer of the same conductivity into a main daughter channel where coplanar electrodes running axially along the channel apply transverse fields. Depending on the buffer selection, samples could be concentrated by electrophoretic (EP) forces at the positive bias electrode or trapped at an equilibrium position within the channel by balancing the EP force with a drag force generated by an induced electroosmotic (EO) flow in the opposite direction.",
