This talk will present an overview of efforts at the University of New Mexico to develop chip based micro- and nanofluidic systems for biosensing and bioseparations. Microfluidic systems to be described include microchip countercurrent electroseparation (in collaboration with Intel Corp.) and affinity microcolumns with fluorescence detection. New methods for fabrication of nanofluidic systems based on interferometic lithography will also be described. These methods are especially well suited for manufacture of bioanalytical systems that incorporate large scale integrated nanofluidic components. Characterization and modeling of fluidic properties of the bioanalytical systems will be emphasized.
