Description

Advances in Microscale Electro- and Liquid Phase-Based Separation Techniques summarizes Microscale separation techniques characterized by fast, high resolution, and high efficiency with very reduced sample and solvent consumption. The book summarizes the existing body of knowledge, including hyphenated version to mass spectrometry (cLC-MS), capillary electrophoresis (CE), capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE and CZE-MS), micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC), capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE), capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF), capillary isotachophoresis (CITP), capillary electrochromatography (CEC), microfluidics, and microchips. It then demonstrates the applicability of these techniques to existing and future problems in the analysis of complex mixtures of biochemicals, pharmaceuticals, environmental, and natural products.

This book will be valuable to separation scientists, applications scientists, and technicians in industrial outlets, including those in pharmaceuticals, biomedicals, biotechnologies, and food and environmental industries. Students and professors who study separation techniques will also benefit greatly from the book's content.
