Located in Singapore, our strength are in the area of capillary electrophoresis (CE), Micellar electrokinetic chromatography, microchip/mircochannel capillary electrophoresis (CE), microchip capillary electrophoresis, lab-chip/lab-on-a-chip and other related fields. Our research workers are delighted to channel their creative minds to innovate on better instruments for analytical purposes. </p> <h2 align="center">Background of Capillary electrophoresis (CE)</h2> <p>Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a modern variant of electrophoresis in instrumentation. Electrophoresis is a separation technique based on the differential migration of electrically charged molecules or particles in a conductive liquid-based medium under the influence of an electric field. Distinctive feature of capillary electrophoresis is the use of small capillaries which have large ratios of area-to-volume. Efficient heat dissipation allows the use of high voltage for the separation. General advantages of capillary electrophoresis include high separation efficiency, short analysis time, low sample and reagent consumption, and easy automation. </p> <p>The operational modes of capillary electrophoresis include: <br> Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) <br> Capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) <br> Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC or MECC) <br> Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) <br> Capillary isotachophoresis (CITP) <br> Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) <br> Capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) </p> <p>All the capillary electrophoresis modes above can share the same instrumental setup, such as our portable CE system (Model CE-P1). Another format of capillary electrophoresis is performed on a microchip, namely microchip capillary electrophoresis. In addition, a lab-on-a-chip system can be used for accomplishing more complicate analytical tasks requiring highly integrated instrumentation. </p> <p>Capillary electrophoresis, as an modern analytical technique, has been applied for inorganic ion analysis, environmental monitoring, water analysis, clinical analysis, food analysis, drug screening and biochemical analysis. <br>   </p> <p>:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) <br> This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them. </p> </body>
