1. A device for capturing analytes comprising:
a) an electrode configured to generate an electrokinetic field region; and
b) a layer in contact with at least a portion of the electrode, wherein the layer comprises a dielectric material of about 5 angstroms to about 25 angstroms in thickness, wherein the device increases the total yield of analyte capture as compared to a device that lacks a layer or has a layer that is more than 25 angstroms in thickness.
