Figure Legend:
Examples of high (a) and low EOF (b) NMI sample concentrators are shown. The signs in the reservoirs near the microchannel ends show the polarity of the applied electric field. In both cases, the permselectivity of the nanofluidic element and electric field drive the formation of the depleted and enriched CP zones on opposite sides of the nanofluidic element. In the high EOF system, the microchannel EOF is greater in magnitude than the electrophoretic mobility of the anions, driving the anions to the interface of the bulk solution with the depleted CP zone. At this interface, the reverse electrophoretic velocity of the analyte increases as the local electric field increases, and the analyte is enriched in a forced balanced zone. In the low EOF system, the nanofluidic element is in the flow path and sufficiently reduces the EOF, and electrophoresis drives the analyte toward the nanofluidic element where it is concentrated in the enriched CP zone.

Figure Legend:
Two similar NMI concentrators with integrated NCMs. (a) The anionic fluorescein is transported towards the negative electrode by EOF. The separation between the NCM and the enriched zone is NCM is caused by presence of the CP depleted zone. (b) The EOF is lower and the fluorescein migrates toward the NCM by electrophoresis. The highest intensity is in the vertical microchannel via.
