Abstract

A microfluidic device having opposed spaced apart sheets of siliceous material, such as glass, the opposed facing sides of each of the sheets having hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas which form therebetween a fluid capillary which is hydrophilic and bounded by hydrophobic areas to form an microfluidic hydrophilic fluid pathway. The preferred device is useful for capillary electrophoresis.
