Electrokinetic Phenomena Principles and Applications in Analytical Chemistry and Microchip Technology

Electrokinetic Phenomena emphasizes the impact of methods such as capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, and capillary gel electrophoresis on the analysis of biomolecules. This reference reveals the electrokinetic phenomena that underlie high-performance electro-based analytical tools and vividly depicts how electrodriven analytical tools revolutionize and expedite chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological analysis. An authoritative overview, the book provides effective pathways for large-scale biomedical applications and describes how microfabricated and automated devices enhance and accelerate the analysis of biologically important molecules.
