We have developed the first prototypes of a three-dimensional, electrophoretically driven microlaboratory for the analysis of proteins and DNA. By selecting the appropriate spacing and geometrical configuration, oligonucleotides were transported, in a controlled, rapid fashion, by electrophoresis in free-space. Transport efficiencies over 2 mm distances exceeded 70%. Electrodes of similar design were combined with an electronically addressed DNA hybridization chip to form a fully electrophoretic microlaboratory. In this instance, gold-plated copper electrodes were patterned on a 2 mil thick polyimide substrate. This polyimide layer was stiffened with 20 mil of polyimide to provide support for flip-chip bonding of our standard 100-site Nanochip . This composite structure illustrated three-dimensional transport of target oligonucleotides, through a via in the polyimide, along a series of electrodes and onto the diagnostic chip. Upon reaching the diagnostic chip, electronic hybridization was performed for a competitive reverse dot blot assay. The electronic assay showed a specific to nonspecific ratio in excess of 20:1. These results suggested that this type of structure might be of practical consequence with the development of a microlaboratory for biowarfare applications.
