Abstract
This paper describes a microfluidic capillary electrophoresis device with integrated
conductivity detection. The device satisfies all major requirements for pointof-
care testing, i.e., simple handling, low sample volume, fast measurements, clear
readout, and inexpensive disposable cartridge usage. The system is currently being
utilized and commercialized for monitoring lithium in whole blood, however, can potentially
be applied to various other ions present in blood, urine or other bodily fluids.
The chip contains a single inlet only and will be shipped prefilled with background
electrolyte, sealed and blistered; ready for use at the patient’s place. A single
droplet of blood is required to be placed inside the cartridge to perform the analysis
typically within a couple of minutes.
