Abstract :
A new class of nanofluidic filter array devices were designed and fabricated to perform rapid separation (both analytical and preparative) of DNA and proteins covering very broad biological size scales. By virtue of its separation efficiency, gel-free operation, ease of sample recovery and high throughput, these nanofluidic filter array devices hold great promise for an integrated biomolecule sample preparation and analysis system.
