Analysis of proteins by CE, CIEF, and microfluidic devices with whole-column-imaging detection

Methods Mol Biol. 2004:276:229-52. doi: 10.1385/1-59259-798-X:229.

Abstract

The recently developed whole-column-imaging detection technique for capillary electrophoresis (CE) and capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF), a commercial whole-column-imaged CIEF instrument and its standard operation protocol are introduced. Furthermore, new developments and applications of whole-column-imaging detection in protein-protein interaction study, in protein separation using microfluidic devices and CIEF methods without carrier ampholytes, as well as in 2D separation techniques are reviewed. Miniaturization of whole-column-imaging CIEF and axially illuminated fluorescence whole-column-imaging CIEF are also discussed.
