Microchip Capillary Electrophoresis

The text of this book is broken into four sections. The first section deals fabrication methods for the production of microchips as this is fundamental to the ability to use this technology. The next section discusses methods to control the surface chemistry and measure the resulting alterations in microfluidic devices. The third section of this book details different detection modes for microchip capillary electrophoresis with detail provided for mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, and finally conductivity. The final section of this book outlines applications of microchip capillary electrophoresis for biological analysis. "Microchip Capillary Electrophoresis" is intended to be both a practical guide for those interested in using this exciting new technology in their own research as well as providing important fundamental information detailing how the technique works at the molecular scale.
