title = "Ratchet nanofiltration of DNA",
abstract = "We have created a non-clogging double stranded DNA filter using the nanofilter array DNA separation geometry. By applying pulsed electric fields in opposite directions we created a temporally asymmetric ratchet, which resulted in bidirectional migration of small DNA, less than 1000 base pairs. The direction of the DNA migration depends on the size of the DNA and can be tuned by changing the electric field strength and pulse length. It can be tuned such that only DNA below a desired size is allowed to pass though the device while the remaining DNA travels back towards the injection.",
