Microfluidic Devices with Graphene Electrodes
Sarah Perry,Ph.D.
-
- Microfluidic platform for use in electro-crystallization and electro-crystallography experiments
-
- Use of graphene as X-ray compatible electrodes enables the application of electric fields on-chip during X-ray analysis, which can be used to modulate structure of protein or other molecules in crystalline (for X-ray diffraction) or solution form (for X-ray scattering)
- Lifetime of fragile samples can be extended by expediting the removal of reactive secondary
This invention describe the manufacturing and use of a novel microfluidic platform for use in electro-crystallization experiments. The device incorporates ultra-thin graphene-based films as electrodes as X-ray transparent windows to enable in situ X-ray diffraction analysis.
