title = "Measuring the effect of crystalline order on DNA electrophoresis in colloidal crystals",
abstract = "Colloidal crystals can be used as sieves for DNA electrophoresis in microfabricated devices. A key difference between crystals and agarose gels is the ordered nature of colloidal crystals. Unlike top-down microfabricated DNA separation devices, colloidal crystals are not perfectly ordered. In most self-assembled crystals, there exists a number of crystalline grains of varying size and orientation. We use a combination of laser diffraction to qualify the crystalline order and high-density measurements of DNA electrophoresis to compare separation performance in regions of high and low crystallinity. We find that for small DNA crystalline order plays no role in DNA separation performance [1].",
