Abstract

Band dispersion has been measured in micromachined separation channels structured with orderly disposed cylindrical micropillars. It was found that with an optimal channel design the band broadening could be lower by a factor of 3 than in packed columns with a comparable particle size. The positioning of the row of pillars closest to the side wall was a decisive factor in influencing band broadening.
