Definitions

  • the present invention relates to capillary electrophoresis and more particularly to an electro-osmotic flow pumping system and method.
  • Capillary electrophoresis is generally used for fluid material separations.
  • the electrophoretic effect is a competition between the electric field force on an ionized chemical group in solution and the viscous drag of that group as it moves the solution, also known as the buffer.
  • the electro-osmotic flow was observed to carry the entire buffer fluid along the capillary as the electrophoresis was occurring.
  • Electro-osmotic flow depends critically on the interaction between the interior surface of the capillary tube and the buffer solution.
  • the inner surface takes on a negative charge. The origin of this charge is not adequately understood. It may be due to the ionization of the tube itself, or absorption of buffer ions. Even Teflon tubes will exhibit electro-osmotic flow.
  • the choice for most capillary electrophoresis applications is a fused silica capillary tube 1 as depicted in Fig. 1. Referring to Fig. 1, surface silanol groups (Si-OH) are ionized into negatively charged silanoate groups (Si-O " ) 2 at pH levels above 3.
  • the positive buffer ions become practically bound to the interior surface 2 of capillary tube 1 and result in a bound cationic layer (indicated generally by reference 5) .
  • the bound cationic layer 5 is not sufficient to neutralize the electric field at the interior surface 2 of the capillary tube wall, and a second mobile cationic layer 6 of positive buffer ions is drawn towards the interior surface of the capillary tube 1, forming a complete cationic diffuse double layer indicated by reference 7 in Fig. 1(b) .
  • the mobile cationic layer 6 moves while the inner bound cationic layer 5 remains stationary. Since the cations in the mobile cationic layer 6 are solvated, the buffer fluid is dragged along by the cations in the mobile cationic layer 6. Between the bound cationic layer 5 and the mobile cationic layer 6, there is a plane of shear 8. An electrical imbalance is created at the plane of shear 8 which is the potential difference across the cationic layers 5 and 6. The potential difference is commonly referred to as the "Zeta potential" .
  • Capillary tubes made of fused silica can have their inner surfaces treated chemically to increase the natural formation of bound, ionized surface groups.
  • One such technique involves pre-treating the capillary tube with NaOH.
  • Another known technique involves adding chemicals that block the formation of the bound surface ions 5 and thereby work to decrease the "Zeta potential" .
  • One such technique involves covalent bonding of monomolecular layers of polyacrylamide to the inner surface of the capillary tube in order to minimize both electro-osmotic flow and buffer absorption. This technique works by chemically shielding the bound charges already on the inner surface of the capillary tube thereby reducing the Zeta potential, and so the electro-osmotic flow. Nevertheless, none of these known chemical modification procedures is able to overcome the problem of bubble formation and its interruption of the net ionic current flow within the capillary tube.
  • Electrical modification is another known technique for enhancing electro-osmotic flow in capillary tubes.
  • One electrical modification technique involves utilizing conventional solid semiconductor materials in the micro-fabrication of the capillary tubes.
  • the semiconductor construction of capillary tubes provides the ability to control voltages along the inner surface of the capillary tube and thereby the Zeta potential.
  • known solid semiconductor materials such as silicon
  • silicon have been found to be ill-suited to electro-osmotic flow systems because the breakdown electric fields are often much lower than the fields required for producing the electro-osmotic flow.
  • a solid semi-conductor construction for example, silicon would need to support a voltage potential of 1000V.
  • a capillary tube 20 (made of a standard insulating material) is covered by a conducting sheath 21 having a very high resistance value.
  • the sheath 21 is coupled to a power supply 22 and charged to some specified voltage. Since the sheath 21 has a very poor conductivity, the Joule heating effect is minimal.
  • the capillary tube 20 and the sheath 21 effectively form a large cylindrical capacitor.
  • the accumulation of charge on the inner surface of the sheath 21 alters the radial electric field inside the capillary tube 20 and thereby affects the Zeta potential. In this way the electro-osmotic flow may be continuously controlled by a continuous adjustment of the voltage applied to the sheath 21.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus and method for electro-osmotic flow in a capillary tube.
  • the present invention provides a capillary tube for use in an electro-osmotic flow system
  • the capillary tube comprises, (a) a cylindrical tube having an interior wall and an exterior wall; (b) a resistive material layer, the resistive material layer is affixed to the interior wall; (c) the resistive material layer includes a pair of terminal ends for coupling to a power source to produce a potential drop across the resistive material layer.
  • the present invention provides an electro-osmotic flow control system for controlling the flow of one or more buffer fluids
  • the electro-osmotic flow control system comprises: (a) a capillary tube having an interior wall and an exterior wall, and an input end and an output end, the input end provides an input port for receiving the buffer fluids, and the output end provides an output port for egress of the buffer fluids; (b) the capillary tube includes a resistive material layer, the resistive material layer is affixed to the interior wall; (c) a power source coupled to the resistive material layer for producing a potential drop across the resistive material layer.
  • the present invention provides a method for producing an electro-osmotic flow in a capillary tube
  • the capillary tube comprises a cylindrical tube having an interior wall and an exterior wall, and includes a resistive material layer affixed to the interior wall
  • the method comprises the steps of: (a) injecting a buffer fluid into one end of the capillary tube; (b) applying an external voltage to the resistive material layer to produce a potential drop across the layer; and (c) controlling the potential drop to vary the Zeta potential and control the electro-osmotic flow of the buffer fluid in the capillary tube.
  • an electro-osmotic flow system for controlling the flow of a plurality of buffer fluids
  • the electro- osmotic flow control system comprises: (a) an input capillary tube having an interior wall and the interior wall includes a resistive material layer, and the input capillary tube has an input and an output port, the input provides an input port for receiving the buffer fluids; (b) a first branch capillary tube having an interior wall and the interior wall includes a resistive material layer, and the first branch capillary tube has an input and an output, the input is coupled to the output port on the input capillary tube; (c) a second branch capillary tube having an interior wall and the interior wall includes a resistive material layer, and the second branch capillary tube has an input and an output, the input being coupled to the output port on the input capillary tube; (d) a voltage source having a plurality of voltage outputs, one voltage output is coupled to the input capillary tube for producing a potential drop across the resistive material
  • a controller for controlling the voltage source includes an output control port coupled to the voltage source for outputting the control signals to control the potential drop in each of the capillary tubes wherein the potential drop controls the flow of the buffer fluid in the associated capillary tube.

  • Fig. 7 shows a network of capillary channels for controlling the flow of a plurality of fluid segments according to another aspect of the invention.
  • Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) show an electro-osmotic flow system 100 according to the present invention.
  • the electro-osmotic flow system 100 comprises a capillary tube 101 having an inner surface or wall 102.
  • the inner surface 102 is coated with a resistive material 104.
  • the resistive material 104 is not sealed or otherwise altered, and resides in direct contact with the buffer fluid 99.
  • a power supply 106 is connected to the resistive material layer 104 and a voltage is applied directly to the resistive layer 104.
  • Application of the voltage (e.g. in the range of 1 KV) to the resistive material layer 104 results in a continuous electric potential drop that is experienced by the buffer fluid 99 at all points in the capillary tube 101.
  • the resistive material preferably comprises a highly resistive material, for example, a semiconducting polymer, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, or the like.
  • a semiconducting polymer such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, or the like.
  • the resistances of these polymers can be adjusted over a very large range to suit the particular application. It has been found that a resistance in the range of approximately 100 MegaOhms to 1000 MegaOhms is suitable for most applications, and for some applications the resistance value will be dependent on the geometry of the layer 104 and/or the interior channel of the capillary tube 101.
  • a gel for ion exchange or an ion exchange polymer such as PVP
  • polyvinylpyrrolidone or even ordinary agar gel is also suitable.
  • a semiconducting polymer does not form an oxidation layer and is thereby able to conduct the electric current across its thickness .
  • coating the inner surface of the capillary tube 101 with the resistive material 104 provides an electric current (ionic) conductive path at every point in the capillary tube 101 regardless of local conditions. If the flow of the buffer fluid 99 is interrupted by the formation of a bubble 120, i.e. resulting in two buffer fluid segments 99a and 99b, then both fluid segments 99a and 99b on either side of the bubble 120 continue to experience the electric force through contact with the energized resistive layer 104 and so will therefore continue to move in direction of arrow 121, pushing the bubble 120 along with the fluid 99. This is because the ionic current flow can continue through the conductive path provided by the resistive layer 104 coating the inner surface 102 of the capillary tube 101.
  • Fig. 6 shows another aspect of the electro-osmotic flow system 100 according to the present invention.
  • one or more bubbles 122 are utilized as separators to separate different fluid segments and control their translation through the capillary tube 101.
  • the bubble 122 separates a first buffer fluid segment 98a from a second buffer fluid segment 98b.
  • Each buffer fluid segment 98 may comprise the same buffer fluid, or a different set of materials, or chemical reactions.
  • the bubble separator 122 provides an effective barrier between the fluid segments 98a and 98b, and the fluid segments 98a and 98b can be translated or moved through the capillary tube 101 by energizing the resistive material layer 104 while at the same time using the bubble 122 to maintain the separation.
  • the bubbles 122 may be injected when the fluid 98 is injected into the capillary tube 101 or formed after the fluid 98 is injected, for example, by injecting air into the tube 101 through a one-way valve 121 located at one end of the capillary tube 101.
  • the width of the bubbles 122 may also be varied depending on the separation desired, characteristics of the fluids, etc.
  • Fig. 7 extends the mechanism of Fig. 6 to a network arrangement of capillary tubes 200 according to another aspect of the present invention.

  • the buffer fluid segments 300 are separated by bubble separators (as described above) and are denoted generally by reference 320. As shown in Fig. 7, the output of the main capillary tube 201 is divided into the three capillary tube branches denoted by references 204, 206 and 208, respectively.
  • the second capillary tube 206 includes a capillary tube 214 with a different geometry.
  • the third capillary tube 208 includes four output capillary tubes denoted by references 216, 218, 220, and 222.
  • the capillary tube 222 is divided into two capillary channels 223a and 223b.
