| Our lab developed new analytical methodologies based on sensitive single-molecule detection and microfabricated devices. Examples of these techniques include the use of microvortices to generate radial accelerations that are over one million gs, the development of optical traps for the manipulation of minute samples present in microfluidic systems, the design and implementation of new modes of chemical separation (e.g., Fourier-transform capillary electrophoresis), the integration of chemical separation with single-molecule detection and the development and application of droplet microfluidics for sensitive single-cell analysis. We will describe some of these developments and discuss their potential application towards the detection and quantification of contaminants in water. |
