Sample purification and enrichment is an important.and usually time-consuming step for on-chip nucleic.acid detection and analysis. This paper presents an electrophoretic.DNA focusing method in microfluidic devices.to enrich nucleic acid concentration by around 2700-fold..The electrical waveforms applied to five individual electrodes.are such designed that DNAs move successively to.the collection electrodes at high speed, while the interferences.from bubbles due to electrohydrolysis are minimized..In a spiral channel with a total length of 48 cm, 1 ml DNA.sample is purified and enriched by 57 times at a flow rate.of 30 μl/min at first. The captured DNAs are then released.and transported to the second microfluidic chamber where.DNAs are collected and concentrated by 49 times. Thus, in.about 40 min, the two-stage device can extract DNAs from.1 ml sample volume and enrich its concentration by 2790-.fold. A trade-off exists between the process throughput and.the DNA collection efficiency. A DNA capture efficiency.of 99.7 % is reached when the flow rate is 1 μl/min, and themaximum DNA capture throughput is achieved at a flow.rate of 30 μl/min. As a platform technology, the device can.be integrated into bio-sensing and genetic analysis assays.for DNA extraction and pre-concentration.
