Microfluidic ion stripper for removal of trifluoroacetic acid from mobile phases used in HILIC-MS of intact proteins Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is commonly used as mobile phase additive to improve retention and peak shape characteristics in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) of intact proteins. However, when using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) detection, TFA may cause ionization suppression and adduct formation, leading to reduced analyte sensitivity. To address this, we describe a membrane-based microfluidic chip ...

Performance study of a microfluidic reactor for cogeneration of chemicals and electricity Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
The chemical and electrochemical performance of a microfluidic reactor for the cogeneration of nitrobenzene derivatives and electricity has been analysed. Reactor operation has been tested using loads of 100 Ω and 1000 Ω allowing an in-depth characterisation replicating the circumstances of actual chemical production. Conversion rates of up to 64% and power densities of up to 0.299 mW cm−2 have been attained. The main products obtained using ...
Particle assembly via wet PDMS rubbing in pre-patterned silicon substrates for the fabrication of ordered particle arrays in microfluidic devices Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Here, a wet rubbing method using a patterned rubbing tool is proposed for filling arrays of interconnected micromachined pockets with individual microspheres on rigid, uncoated silicon substrates without damaging the substrate or particles. We show that 5-10 µm silica and polystyrene particles can be assembled using this method, with a filling ratio (FR) of 99.5%. These particle arrays are entirely sunken in the structures that may be placed ...
