abstract = {Thermophoresis is the mass transport induced by a
temperature gradient where the Soret coefficient ST is a
measure for the established concentration gradient in a
temperature gradient. It has gained a lot of interest in the
biotechnology to monitor the binding between proteins and
ligands [1]. To obtain quantitative thermophoretic
parameters in those complex systems, the existing methods
are not suitable as they are limited to binary mixtures or
consume large sample amounts in the order of 30-50 mL.
Recently, a thermophoretic lab-on-a-chip device with a small
sample volume of 10 µL was developed to measure ST using a
confocal microscope. With a microwire for heating, large
temperature gradients up to ~106 K/m could be achieved [2].
However, a 3D temperature profile around the wire
complicated the analysis for determining ST. To overcome the
drawback of this chip, we propose a thermophoretic µ-device
with a 1D temperature profile. In this instrument a
measurement channel with a sample volume of 20 µL lies
between a heating and cooling channel. Temperature gradients
up to ~104 K/m can be achieved. Using a confocal microscope,
the temperature profile is measured by fluorescence lifetime
imaging microscopy (FLIM) with Rhodamine B (RhB) and the
concentration is determined from the fluorescence intensity.
Fluorescent polystyrene particles with a diameter of 25 nm
are used for comparing ST to a validated optical method
(Thermal Diffusion Forced Rayleigh Scattering (TDFRS)) [3]
and the recently developed thermophoretic chip [2]. ST
probed by the developed device agrees within the uncertainty
with TDFRS and thermophoretic lab-on-a-chip
measurements.Literature:[1] D. Niether and S. Wiegand, J.
