Publisher's Synopsis
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) are increasingly employed in many areas of life sciences. CE and CEC use virtually the same instrumentation and complement each other. Consequently, their coexistence in research and routine laboratories will be on the rise. Therefore, there is currently a need for specialized books in CE and CEC to provide users with the latest development and new directions in both techniques. <br> This book and its forthcoming companions will certainly be major reference books for experts as well as new comers to the field of microcolumn separations, i.e. CE and CEC. Compiled in this book are review articles published in ELECTROPHORESIS in 2001 describing recent advances and perspectives in CE and CEC. <br> <br> The various review articles are grouped in the following parts:<br> <br> o Preconcentration<br> o Separation matrices and methodologies <br> o Miniaturization and array electrophoresis<br> o Chiral separations and their applications<br> o Amino acids, peptides and proteins <br> o Proteomics<br> o Nucleic acids<br> o Clinical, forensic and environmental analysis<br> o Pharmaceuticals<br> <br> CE and CEC are important analytical separation tools of equal importance for many basic and applied researchers. <br> <br>
