Droplet-interfaced separations as an emerging tool for high-throughput microchip electrophoresis
Droplet-interfaced separations as an emerging tool for high-throughput microchip electrophoresis
Electrophoresis is a powerful analytical separation technique to analyses biological sample fragments such as nucleic acids, biomarkers, proteins, enzymes etc. Microchip electrophoresis (MCE) is a miniaturised form of electrophoresis and offers fast, robust and low-cost analyses and portability. However, the current format of MCE operates only in the single channel, which limits the throughput of the separations. Droplet-based microfluidics, on the other hand, offers simplicity, robustness and multiplicity in microchannels. Therefore, it has a great potential for droplet-based high throughput electrophoretic separations of DNA fragments, proteins and biomarkers from biofluids such as saliva, blood, dialysate etc. and the ease of operational procedures could further lead this for the Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostics in healthcare

Abstract
Electrophoresis is a powerful analytical separation technique to analyses biological sample fragments such as nucleic acids, biomarkers, proteins, enzymes etc. Microchip electrophoresis (MCE) is a miniaturised form of electrophoresis and offers fast, robust and low-cost analyses and portability. However, the current format of MCE operates only in the single channel, which limits the throughput of the separations. Droplet-based microfluidics, on the other hand, offers simplicity, robustness and multiplicity in microchannels. Therefore, it has a great potential for droplet-based high throughput electrophoretic separations of DNA fragments, proteins and biomarkers from biofluids such as saliva, blood, dialysate etc. and the ease of operational procedures could further lead this for the Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostics in healthcare
