Handbook of Capillary and Microchip Electrophoresis and Associated Microtechniques

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) technology has rapidly transitioned from research to practical applications across various fields, yet debates about its effectiveness persist among scientists. Despite a significant increase in international CE literature, experts still question whether it meets the promised standards in speed, resolving power, peak capacity, sensitivity, robustness, and cost-effectiveness. This third edition addresses these concerns by showcasing the utility of CE in diverse disciplines such as forensic science, medical diagnostics, pharmaceutical science, genetic analysis, biotechnology, fluid mechanics, environmental science, biomedical research, nanotechnology, and proteomics. Eagerly anticipated by researchers and technicians who contributed to the success of the previous editions, this volume emphasizes microseparations and microfluidics. It includes new chapters that explore microchip electrophoresis and related microtechniques, highlighting the extensive advancements made in CE methodologies. With contributions from leading international experts, this text serves as an essential reference for professionals in chemistry, biology, and engineering, reaffirming its status as a key resource in the field.
