DEVICE FOR SEPARATING BIOMOLECULES FROM A FLUID

摘要

The device for separating biomolecules from a fluid comprises a microfluidic component equipped with at least one microchannel (1) having at least one of the walls (2) bearing a plurality of nanotubes or nanowires (9). The component comprises at least one electrode (11) electrically connected to at least one portion of the nanotubes or nanowires (9) and the device comprises means (10) for applying a voltage between the electrode and the fluid. The nanotubes or nanowires are divided into several active zones (14), in which the nanotubes or nanowires (9) have a different density.
