Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis is performed under conventional conditions in microchannels having a norbornene based polymer surface. The norbornene based polymers can be used as a solid substrate for forming the necessary features for a microfluidic device, where the entire device may be made of norbornene based polymer. Conveniently, a norbornene based polymer layer having a lower glass transition temperature may be used to adhere a cover or enclosing layer to the substrate to enclose the microchannels and provide a bottom for the reservoirs.
