High performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) is the newest and perhaps most powerful separation technique available today. This single-authored text provides an integrated, comprehensive, and clearly illustrated look at the field. Users of HPCE will gain a basic understanding of principles underlying electrophoresis and go on to learn about mode selection, methods development, detection, and quantative analysis. Ideally suited for analytical chemists and analytical biochemists with applications involving small molecules, proteins, peptides, DNA, and ion separations, this book provides a comparative assessment of related techniques. The author is an internationally recognised scientist and serves as the instructor for short courses on HPCE as offered by the American Chemical Society.
