Abstract

A simple continuous isotachophoresis (ITP)-based microchip gel electrophoresis (MGE) was firstly applied for the concentration and separation of aptamer and its thrombin complex in a single cross-form poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microchip. The aptamer and its thrombin complex can be simultaneously concentrated and separated by this method which does not require time-consuming steps and complicated chip design. We found that different terminating electrolyte (TE) ions lead to different concentration enhancement factors and that lower mobility of TE ions can get higher concentration results. After optimization of various impact factors, we successfully achieved about 2000-fold concentration of aptamer-thrombin complex.
