We present a sensitive, simple and robust on-chip transient isotachophoresis/capillary gel electrophoresis (tITP/CGE) method for the analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) samples. Using chloride ions in the PCR buffer and N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) in the background electrolyte, respectively, as the leading and terminating electrolytes, the tITP preconcentration was coupled with CGE separation with double-T shaped channel network. The tITP/CGE separation was carried out with a single running buffer. The separation process involved only two steps that were performed continuously with the sequential switching of four voltage outputs. The tITP/CGE method showed an analysis time and a separation efficiency comparable to those of standard CGE, while the signal intensity was enhanced by factors of over 20. The limit of detection of the chip-based tITP/CGE method was estimated to be 1.1 ng/mL of DNA in 1x PCR buffer using confocal fluorescence detection following 473 nm laser excitation.
