Popis: PDMS based multi-channel microfluidic chip was designed and fabricated in a simple approach using readily available tools. UV-initiated in situ polymerization of poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate-co-di(ethylene glycol) diacrylate-co-N,N'-diallyl L-tartardiamide) in an eppendorf tube was achieved within 40 min. This polymerization process was successfully translated to a microfluidic chip format without any further modifications. Iminodiacetic acid was successfully immobilized on aldehyde functional monoliths via Schiff base reaction and confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Four transition metal-ions (Co (II), Zn (II), Ni (II), and Cu (II)) were chelated individually on four IDA-monolith microfluidic chips. The conjoint metal-ion monolith microfluidic chip has displayed high permeability (9.40 × 10-13 m2 ) and a porosity of 32.8%. This affinity microfluidic chip has pre-fractioned four human plasma proteins (fibrinogen, immunoglobulin, transferrin and human serum albumin) based on their surface exposed histidine surface topography. A protein recovery of ∼95% (Bradford assay data) was achieved. The multi-monolith microchip can be reusable even after 3 protein adsorption-desorption cycles. This article is protected by copyright.
