Acousto-optical deflection-based whole channel scanning for microchip isoelectric focusing with laser-induced fluorescence detection.

This paper describes the development of a technique amenable to the separation of proteins on a microchip by isoelectric focusing (IEF) with entire channel scanning laser-induced fluorescence detection using acousto-optical deflection (AOD). The ability to use AOD to scan the portions of or the entire length of an IEF separation channel allows for high-speed analysis since the mobilization step is circumvented with this technique. Employing no moving parts eliminates mechanical noise and, not only is there no loss of resolution, AOD scanning can potentially increase resolution. The ability of AOD to provide ultra-fast scanning rates (kHz timescale) allows for real-time imaging of the focusing process. This is demonstrated with the separation of naturally fluorescent proteins using entire channel (total scanning range of 2.4 cm) AOD-mediated scanning laser-induced fluorescence detection.
