摘要
Microfluidic chip devices are shown to be attractive platforms for performing microscale voltammetric analysis and for integrating voltammetric procedures with on-chip chemical reactions and fluid manipulations. Linear-sweep, square-wave, and adsorptive-stripping voltammograms are recorded while electrokinetically "pumping" the sample through the microchannels, The adaptation of voltammetric techniques to microfluidic chip operation requires an assessment of the effect of relevant experimental variables, particularly the high voltage used for driving the electroosmotic now, upon the background current, potential window, and size or potential of the voltammetric signal. The exact potential window of the chip detector is dependent upon the driving voltage. Manipulation of the electroosmotic now opens the door to hydrodynamic modulation (stopped-flow) and reversed-flow operations. The modulated analyte velocity permits compensation of the microchip voltammetric background. Reversal of the driving voltage polarity offers extended residence times in the detector compartment, Rapid square-wave voltammetry/flow injection operation allows a detection limit of 2 x 10(-12) mol (i.e., 2 pmol) of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in connection with 47 nL of injected sample. The ability of integrating chemical reactions with voltammetric detection is demonstrated for adsorptive stripping measurements of trace nickel using the nickel-dimethylglyoxime model system. The voltammetric response is characterized using catechol, hydrazine, TNT, and nickel as test species. The ability to perform on-chip voltammertic protocols is advantageous over nanovial voltammetric operations that lack a liquid-handling capability. Coupling the versatility of microfluidic chips with the rich information content of voltammetry thus opens an array of future opportunities.
