The DNA Prism

The DNA prism allows for the separation of DNA within seconds. Electric fields applied at different angles and frequencies to DNA within a microarray yield separation according to length. 13% resolution was achieved using 2 micrometer posts with a 2 micrometers gap size. Please refer to the paper below. (Figure from paper.)
