Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, to increase the detection sensitivity in capillary electrophoresis (CE) and microchip electrophoresis (MCE), a novel and simple on-line sample preconcentration based on a modified dynamic pH junction technique in a bipolar electrode embedded single “straight” channel was developed. It was found that a very high pH zone with a short band width formed around the bipolar electrode only by switching the polarity of the separation voltage applied both ends of the straight microchannel. As a typical result, a 50~300-fold increases in the sensitivity for fluorescent dyes were obtained. Proposed technique was successfully applied to the analysis of labeling dyes for biomolecules and the separation of protein mixtures.
