It is especially promising for treating water with low and moderate salt concentration, also known as brackish water. The key component of a CDI cell is a pair of porous carbon electrodes. Salt ions are removed from water and held electrostatically at the pore surface. CDI operates at low voltage (&lt;1.4V) and low pressure, and has the potential to be cost effective and energy efficient&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/yatianqu.com\/index.php\/research\/water-desalination-capacitive-deionization\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>biological sample preparation by isotachophoresis<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yatianqu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Figure1-e1451520565183.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-112\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-112\" src=\"http:\/\/yatianqu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Figure1-e1451520565183.jpg\" alt=\"Figure1\" width=\"280\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yatianqu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Figure1-e1451520565183.jpg 1352w, https:\/\/yatianqu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Figure1-e1451520565183-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/yatianqu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Figure1-e1451520565183-768x1134.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yatianqu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Figure1-e1451520565183-694x1024.jpg 694w, https:\/\/yatianqu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Figure1-e1451520565183-257x380.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Isotachophoresis (ITP) is an electrophoretic technique that both separates and pre-concentrates ions based on their electrophoretic mobility.<\/p>\n<p>ITP is a robust sample preparation method and has been recently extensively applied to extraction and purification of both DNA and RNA targets from a variety of samples including blood, urine, and cell culture.\u00a0ITP sample preparation of nucleic acids has also been shown to be compatible with downstream assays including qPCR and hybridization reactions&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/yatianqu.com\/index.php\/research\/biological-sample-preparation\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have worked on a number of different interdisciplinary research projects throughout of my Ph.D., in the fields of microfluidics, biomedical devices, electrocheical energy conversion and water purification and desalination.
