Abstract

In this study, we fabricated a novel nanostructure that combined the pillar structures (nanopillar) and dammed structures (nanoslit) in nanometer-scale inside microchannels to realize ultra-fast separation. Nanopilliar chips were fabricated by using electron-beam lithography, photolithography and plasma etching. We used the nanopillar chip to realize ultra-fast separation of T4 DNA (165.5 kbp) and microRNA (22 b). By decreasing height down to 100 nm, we succeeded in separating DNA and microRNA in sub-milliseconds.
