Image of the Month: Small Separations

Will microscale 3D columns have a big impact on the future of liquid-phase separations?

Charlotte Barker | 07/26/2019 | Quick Read

A prototype of a three-dimensional liquid phase spatial separation device, 3D-printed by researchers at the University of Amsterdam using high-resolution projection microstereolithography. Complex mixtures can be spatially separated in the first- and second-dimension channels and eluted in the third dimension. The effluents are stamped out onto a MALDI substrate from the conical tips in the microfluidic device (pictured). Student Leon Niezen produced the device shown here.
