    Abstract

    We report a new and simple approach for preparative purification and fractionation of sub-10-kbp DNA molecules in a microfluidic device. Agarose gel with 1.2% concentration is used as the separation matrix. A 0.5-10 kbp DNA ladder is fractionated and separated from other ionic species in continuous flow within 2 minutes by periodically switching between two orthogonal electrical fields of strongly differing magnitude. The high-resolution separation is based on the variation in field-dependent mobility (FDM) for differently-sized DNA fragments.
