Abstract

There has been significant interest in the adaptation of lab on a chip devices for the separation and detection of chemical and biological toxins. Potential toxic and/or hazardous analytes of concern in our program include BWA protein toxins,e.g., SEB and ricin, ingestible CW toxins, e.g. alkaloids and rat poisons, and nitroaromatic explosives indicative of IED's. Discussion will center around our efforts to enhance sensitivity and selectivity on a microchip by incorporation of micro-solid-phase extraction, microchip bubble-cell long pathlength UV detection, organically-modified sol-gel materials for electrochromatography, protein recognition aptamers, and microfluidic-based displacement immunoassays
