With its new 2007 catalogue microfluidic ChipShop introduces ChipGenie® edition E. This novel lab-on-a-chip-based capillary electrophoresis system detects charged species in fluids via contactless conductivity measurement.
Originally developed for the wine industry to perform quality control measurements and evaluated for a range of other food stuffs, ChipGenie® edition E is readily adaptable to the analysis of water – from wastewater treatment to household heating circuits. It features a rugged and portable casing and connects via a single USB port to a notebook or personal computer that serves both as control unit and power supply.
The system utilizes disposable polymer-chip devices with the respective separation channel and detecting electrodes. The chips provide the reservoirs for the required application-optimized buffers and the easy introduction of the sample. Taking full advantage of the underlying microfluidic principles, the actual analysis is performed in less than two minutes: Carrying out a single measurement is as easy as introducing a small amount of sample (70µl) into the chip, closing the lid, and clicking a button via the software interface.
