Abstract
A device is described for electrophoretic molecular separation. This device has a channel formed on a hydrophobic surface thereof. The interior surface of the channel is rendered hydrophilic through successive oxidation and protophilic reactions. A cover extends over the channel to form a conduit which is dimensioned to accept a molecular separation media. The conduit is also positioned for application of an electric current along the length of the interior of the conduit which drives a sample through the molecular separation media. Systems and methods are also described for electrophoretic molecular separation.
