Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

This book contains all the information necessary to understand the principles of capillary electrophoresis.Surely and swiftly it leads the readers from fundamental concepts to increasingly important applications ranging from small ions to proteins, nucleic acids and even whole cells.Topics covered include- Fundamental concepts and theoretical principles- Phenomena accompanying electrophoresis- Instrumentation - Principles and Components- How to operate instrumentation- ApplicationsParticular attention is paid to the development of zone migration as well as to the profiles of their boundaries necessary to fully understand the separation process. Moreover, the accompanying phenomena of electroosmosis and Joule heating together with their impact on analysis are covered thoroughly.Both students and application chemists in pharmaceutical and biotech companies will appreciate its double thrust of comprehensive orientation and overview of advanced instrumentation and applications. The chapters are self-contained and may easily be used individually.
