Harnessing the Power of Capillary Electrophoresis for Biomedical Research

Evander Lockwud

Capillary electrophoresis is a separation technique that relies on the differential migration of charged molecules in
an electric field through a narrow capillary. Its inherent advantages, including high separation efficiency, speed, minimal
sample requirements, and versatility, have made it an indispensable tool in the study of biomolecules. CE plays a
pivotal role in DNA sequencing, DNA fragment analysis, and genotyping, allowing for rapid and accurate analysis of
genetic material. In proteomics, CE enables the separation and quantification of complex protein mixtures, facilitating
the discovery of potential biomarkers and the elucidation of protein interactions.
