Abstract

Fused silica nanofluidic devices containing either nanoslit arrays or individual nanoslits were used to investigate the electric field dependent separation of fluorescently labeled, double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with lengths of 55 bp, 259 bp, and 753 bp. Initial results provided experimental evidence to suggest that the breakdown of Ogston sieving of short DNA can be supplanted at higher average electric fields values in the array, Eave, to recover length-based separation.
