Abstract
The ability to design complex but robust structures using 3D printing offers simplified setup strategies for microfluidic free-flow electrophoresis (μFFE) devices. In addition, the automated integration of multiple features and customized fittings are of great advantage. Here, a μFFE with several functional features was 3D-printed in a single step, thus reducing potential sources of error due to manual installation. Key features are i) a separation chamber, ii) an adapter for a microfluidic connection, and iii) 3D-printed wells as a sample collection system. The integration of membranes and wires was achieved by simple and reliable manual installation. As proof of concept, the electrophoretic separation of different dyes is demonstrated.
