Capillary electrophoresis: the promise and the practice
Article Abstract:
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a new method for determining the composition of biopolymers and other biochemicals that enhances researchers' abilities in identification, online detection and, possibly, quantitation. The new technique has four modes: capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary zone electrophoresis, micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography and capillary isoelectric focusing. CE's main advantages are its capacity to analyze charged molecules such as nucleotides and to carry out this analysis even when very little sample material can be obtained.

Divide and conquer
Article Abstract:
One of the key element of performing good cell-biology experiments is to start with the right cells and there are various technologies such as fluorescence-activated cell sorting, COPAS family of instruments, dielectrophoresis-activated cell sorting, Bio RYX 200 systems. Growing interest in stem-sell isolation, clinical cell sorting and single cell analysis are fuelling the drive to develop microscale sorters.

Multiple-sheathflow capillary array DNA analyser
Article Abstract:
A DNA sequencer has been developed that has a high throughput, does not require very large amounts of nucleic acid sample and is highly sensitive. The technique uses sheathflows of buffer around elements in an array of gel capillaries. DNA fragments are irradiated in the sheathflow region and the florescence for the irradiated line is gathered by a cylindrical lens system and recorded by a sensitive camera.
