    Abstract Multifunctional microfluidic platforms that use ITP for sample stacking require the use of serpentine channels. When ITP is carried out in serpentine passages, the sample band shows dramatically different behavior than that observed in conventional on-chip CE. The band skew, defined as the distance between the leading and trailing edge of the band, is reduced and the sample is focused on the outside wall of the turn. This effect is explained using a simplified analytical model for the infinite Peclet number limit and the predicted trends are compared to full numerical simulations and experimental measurements. The outward focusing is driven by a wall-normal electric field that results from the skewed leading buffer-trailing buffer (LB-TB) interface. The results indicate that the degree of outward focusing is controlled by the ratio of the LB and TB conductivities, the ratio of the channel width to turn radius, and the Peclet number. Increasing the band skew, which shows a complex dependence on the nondimensional parameters, maximizes the outward focusing effect.

    Abstract There is a need in surgical oncology for contrast agents that can enable real-time intraoperative visualization of solid tumors that can enable complete resections while sparing normal surrounding tissues. The Tumor Paint agent BLZ-100 is a peptide-fluorophore conjugate that can specifically bind solid tumors and fluoresce in the near-infrared range, minimizing light scatter and signal attenuation. In this study, we provide a preclinical proof of concept for use of this imaging contrast agent as administered before surgery to dogs with a variety of naturally occurring spontaneous tumors. Imaging was performed on excised tissues as well as intraoperatively in a subset of cases. Actionable contrast was achieved between tumor tissue and surrounding normal tissues in adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, mast cell tumors, and soft tissue sarcomas. Subcutaneous soft tissue sarcomas were labeled with the highest fluorescence intensity and greatest tumor-to-background signal ratio. Our results establish a foundation that rationalizes clinical studies in humans with soft tissue sarcoma, an indication with a notably high unmet need.

    Abstract We have developed an acrylic microfluidic device that sequentially couples liquid-phase isoelectric focusing (IEF) and free solution capillary electrophoresis (CE). Rapid separation (<1 min) and preconcentration (73x) of species were achieved in the initial IEF dimension. Using full-field fluorescence imaging, we observed nondispersive mobilization velocities on the order of 20 microm/s during characterization of the IEF step. This transport behavior allowed controlled electrokinetic mobilization of focused sample bands to a channel junction, where voltage switching was used to repeatedly inject effluent from the IEF dimension into an ampholyte-based CE separation. This second dimension was capable of analyzing all fluid volumes of interest from the IEF dimension, as IEF was 'parked' during each CE analysis and refocused prior to additional CE analyses. Investigation of each dimension of the integrated system showed time-dependent species displacement and band-broadening behavior consistent with IEF and CE, respectively. The peak capacity of the 2D system was approximately 1300. A comprehensive 2D analysis of a fluid volume spanning 15% of the total IEF channel length was completed in less than 5 min.
