Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) devices fabricated in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) require continuous voltage control of all intersecting channels in the fluidic network in order to avoid catastrophic leakage at the intersections. This contrasts with the behavior of similar flow channel designs fabricated in glass substrates. When the injection plugs are shaped by voltage control and leakage from side channels is controlled by the application of pushback voltages during separation, fluorescein samples give 64 200 theoretical plates (7000 V separation voltage, E = 1340 V/cm). Native PDMS devices exhibit stable retention times (+/- 8.6% RSD) over a period of five days when filled with water. Contact angles were unchanged (+/- 1.9% RSD) over a period of 16 weeks of dry storage, in contrast to the known behavior of plasma-oxidized PDMS surfaces. Electroosmotic flow (EOF) was observed in the direction of the cathode for the buffer systems studied (phosphate, pH 3-10.5), in the presence or absence of hydrophobic ions such as tetrabutylammonium or dodecyl sulfate. Electroosmotic mobilities of 1.49 x 10(-5) and 5.84 x 10(-4) cm2/Vs were observed on average at pH 3 and 10.5, respectively, the variation strongly suggesting that silica fillers in the polymer dominate the zeta potential of the material. Hydrophobic compounds such as dodecyl sulfate and BODIPY 493/503 adsorbed strongly to the PDMS, indicating the hydrophobicity of the channel walls is clearly problematic for CZE analysis of hydrophobic analytes. A method to stack multiple channel layers in PDMS is also described.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
