Unique capability for processing protein samples in microchips is demonstrated via fabrication of photopatterned nanoporous polymer membranes with engineered pore size. Proteins are electrophoresed into membranes and concentrated by over two orders of magnitude before being injected for analysis. Specific analytes can be extracted from complex samples by flowing sample past a long dialysis membranes and perfusing in counterflow. Protein processing performance is used to characterize membrane porosity and specific diffusivities.
