As capillary electrophoresis transforms into a mature technology in nearly every field of chemistry and biology, Capillary Electrophoresis and Microchip Technology, Second Edition details the latest concepts, instrumentation, and applications of capillary electrophoresis (CE). Building on the success of its predecessor, this edition features expanded coverage of the Human Genome and the Human Proteomic Projects. It includes expanded instrumentation and application sections, with topics ranging from mass spectrometry to microfabrication tools and microchip design options. The text offers an overview of miniaturization techniques and modes of CE. It also discusses capillary electrochormatography and the background electrolyte system.
