Continuous-Flow Focusing and Separations on Chip

Summary form only given. Microfluidic chips have been reasonably popular in the analytical research community. Particularly, fast separations and chemical reactions for use in analytical chemistry context have been of interest. Scaling laws predict a higher mass and heat transport for smaller dimensions. However, there is a trade-off between internal volumes and detection limits. In this presentation, examples of microfluidic chips and their use for free-flow electrophoresis, free-flow IEF, isotachophoresis, for microscale separation, and vesicle tube formation are showed
