Abstract
Hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC) is a technique originally developed for separating particles. We have recently extended it to DNA fragment sizing and quantitation. In this review, we focus on this extension. After we briefly introduce the history of HDC, we present the evolution of open tubular HDC for DNA fragment sizing. We cover both the theoretical aspect and the experimental implementation of this technique. We describe various approaches to execute the separation, discuss its representative applications and provide a future perspective of this technique in the conclusion section of this review.

Abstract
This study demonstrates hydrodynamic chromatography of DNA fragments in a microchip. The microchip contains a highly regular array of nanofluidic channels (nanocapillaries) that are essential for resolving DNA in this chromatography mode. The nanocapillaries are self-enclosed robust structures built inside a doped glass layer on silicon using low-resolution photolithography and standard semiconductor processing techniques. Additionally, the unique nanocapillaries feature a cylindrical inner radius of 600 nm maintained over a length scale of 5 cm. The microchip with bare open nanocapillaries is shown to rapidly separate a digest of lambda DNA in free solution (<5 min under the elution pressure of 60 to 120 psi), relying entirely on pressure-driven flows and, in doing so, avoiding the field-induced DNA aggregations encountered in gel-free electrophoresis. The nanocapillaries, despite their relatively short length, are observed to fractionate DNA fragments reasonably well with a minimum resolvable size difference below 5 kbp. In the chromatograms obtained, the number of theoretical plates exceeds 105 plates per m for 3.5 and 21 kbp long DNA fragments. The relative mobility of fragments in relation to their size is found to be in excellent agreement with the simple quadratic model of hydrodynamic chromatography. The model is shown to estimate greater effective hydrodynamic radii than those of respective fragments being unconfined in bulk solution, implying increased drag forces and reduced diffusion coefficients, which is also a noticeable trend among diffusion coefficient estimates derived from the experimentally obtained plate heights. This robust mass-producible microchip can be further developed into a fully integrated bioanalytic microsystem.

Abstract
DNA size separation followed by purification and enrichment constitute essential operations for genetic engineering. These processes are mostly carried out using DNA electrophoresis in gels or in polymer solutions, a well-established yet lengthy technique which has been notably improved using Lab-on-Chip technologies. So far, innovations for DNA separation or enrichment have been mostly undertaken separately, and we present an approach that allows us to perform these two processes simultaneously for DNA fragments spanning 0.2-50 kilo base pairs (kbp) in length. Our technology involves an electric field and a counter hydrodynamic flow in viscoelastic liquids, in which we show the occurrence of transverse forces oriented toward the walls. These forces increase with DNA molecular weight (MW) and hence induce a progressive reduction in DNA migration speed that triggers size separation in microfluidic channels as well as in capillaries. The separation of MW markers in the range 1-50 kbp is achieved in 15 minutes, thus outperforming gel electrophoresis that takes ∼3 hours for this sample. Furthermore, the use of a funnel, where electric and flow fields are modulated spatially, enables us to adjust the transverse forces so as to stall the motion of DNA molecules at a position where they accumulate at factors of up to 1000 per minute. In this configuration, we establish that the operations of DNA enrichment and separation can be carried out simultaneously for the bands of a DNA MW marker between 0.2-1.5 kbp diluted at 0.02 ng μL(-1) in 30 s. Altogether, our technology, which can readily be integrated as an in-line module in Lab-on-Chips, offers unique opportunities for sample preparation and analysis of minute genomic samples.

Abstract
The manipulation of fluids in micro/nanofabricated systems opens new avenues to engineer the transport of matter at the molecular level. Yet the number of methods for the in situ characterization of fluid flows in shallow channels is limited. Here we establish a simple method called nanoparticle velocimetry distribution analysis (NVDA) that relies on wide field microscopy to measure the flow rate and channel height based on the fitting of particle velocity distributions along and across the flow direction. NVDA is validated by simulations, showing errors in velocity and height determination of less than 1% and 8% respectively, as well as with experiments, in which we monitor the behavior of 200 nm nanoparticles conveyed in channels of ~1.8 μm in height. We then show the relevance of this assay for the characterization of flows in bulging channels, and prove its suitability to characterize the concentration of particles across the channel height in the context of visco-elastic focusing. Our method for rapid and quantitative flow characterization has therefore a broad spectrum of applications in micro/nanofluidics, and a strong potential for the optimization of Lab-on-Chips modules in which engineering of confined transport is necessary.

Abstract
We present gravitational field-flow fractionation and hydrodynamic chromatography of colloids eluting through 18 μm microchannels. Using video microscopy and mesoscopic simulations, we investigate the average retention ratio of colloids with both a large specific weight and neutral buoyancy. We consider the entire range of colloid sizes, including particles that barely fit in the microchannel and nanoscopic particles. Ideal theory predicts four operational modes, from hydrodynamic chromatography to Faxén-mode field-flow fractionation. We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, the existence of the Faxén-mode field-flow fractionation and the transition from hydrodynamic chromatography to normal-mode field-flow fractionation. Furthermore, video microscopy and simulations show that the retention ratios are largely reduced above the steric-inversion point, causing the variation of the retention ratio in the steric- and Faxén-mode regimes to be suppressed due to increased drag. We demonstrate that theory can accurately predict retention ratios if hydrodynamic interactions with the microchannel walls (wall drag) are added to the ideal theory. Rather than limiting the applicability, these effects allow the microfluidic channel size to be tuned to ensure high selectivity. Our findings indicate that particle velocimetry methods must account for the wall-induced lag when determining flow rates in highly confining systems.
