          Abstract

          This paper performs an experimental and numerical investigation into low-leakage injectors designed for electrophoresis microchips. The principal material transport mechanisms of electrokinetic migration, fluid flow, and diffusion are considered in developing a mathematical model of the electrophoresis process. Low-leakage injectors designed with injection channels orientated at various included angles are designed and tested. The numerical and experimental results indicate that the injector with a 30 degrees included angle successfully minimizes sample leakage and has an exciting potential for use in high-quality, high-throughput chemical analysis procedures and in many other applications in the field of micro-total analysis systems.
