Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the sequence of observations that has led to current understanding in the field, this reference presents the basic concepts, instrumentation and applications of capillary electrophoresis, examining its many features such as high-power resolution, high-mass sensitivity, overall sensitivity and low-sample volume requirements. This work highlights the use of capillary elctrophoresis for the identification, separation, detection and characterization of substances on the molecular counting level. Illustrating the major technical maneuvers for common operations and applications, Capillary Electrophoresis Technology outlines the theoretical concepts and mathematical expressions of capillary electrophoresis; describes advances in instrumentation hardware and detection systems. It explains the advantages and limitations of the different variants of capillary electrophoresis; and provides extra coverage of areas in which capillary electrophoresis has grown increasingly popular, including the identification and characterization of small molecules and macromolecules. Written by experts in the field, this book is aimed at analytical and clinical chemists and biochemists, chemical engineers, biologists, pharmacists, biotechnologists and students in these disciplines.
