Molecule-separating device and method of producing same

摘要

The device (1) has a circulation channel (7) arranged in a substrate (2), and a carbon nanotube (3) associated to a molecule to be separated, where the nanotube is formed on a free surface (2a) of the substrate. The carbon nanotube has an inner channel (4) emerging in the channel and comprising a predetermined effective diameter greater than hydrodynamic diameter of the molecule to be separated and lesser than a hydrodynamic diameter of additional molecule. The inner channel of the nanotube is placed based on the effective diameter along a circulation axis of liquid sample in the channel (7). An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a molecule separation device.
