Controlled nanoconfinement in a microfluidic modular bead array device via elastomeric diaphragm collapse for enhancing biomolecular binding kinetics
2025-05-23 Nanoconfinement is used to reduce diffusion limitations during biomolecular binding reactions in micro/nanofluidic environments. Under nanoconfined conditions, biomolecules experience an increased collision frequency, thereby enhancing binding efficiency. In this study,......
