Abstract
We report on measurements of electroosmotic mobility in polymer microchannels and silica capillaries with and without the addition of a caged fluorescein dye to the buffer. For PMMA microchannels, the mobility was found to increase from (2.6 +/- 0.1) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) to (4.6 +/- 0.1) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) upon addition of 1.2 mmol/L of caged dye. For PC microchannels, the mobility increased from (4.3 +/- 0.2) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) to (5.4 +/- 0.1) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) upon addition of caged dye. For PDMS microchannels, the mobility increased from (4.3 +/- 0.2) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) to (6.4 +/- 0.5) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) upon addition of caged dye. For fused-silica capillaries, the mobility ((5.5 +/- 0.2) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1)) was unaffected by the addition of the caged dye.
