title = "Effect of sub-micron pillar array on DNA kinetics in a free-solution capillary electrophoresis microsystem",
abstract = "This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of the effect of a sub-micron pillar array, embedded in the separation channel, on DNA kinetics in a free-solution capillary electrophoresis microsystem. DNA plugs have been observed to migrate with different velocity depending on the cross-sectional shape of the pillars. This velocity variation can be partly explained by the electric field re-distribution due to the pillar array. Numerical simulations have been carried out to verify the effect of the sub-micron pillar geometry on the electric field distribution, and the computations of DNA plug velocity are qualitatively consistent with the measurements.",
