CRITICAL-REVIEW OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN FLUORESCENCE DETECTION FOR CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS

Recent developments in capillary electrophoresis with fluorescence det ection are reviewed. Instrumental advances have led to increased sensi tivity and, therefore, a growing number of applications. Capillary ele ctrophoresis has been coupled with various techniques to achieve multi -dimensional separations. Other advances have focused on temporal reso lution when sampling from biological environments, increased sample th roughput especially for DNA analysis, and fast separation times. New t echnologies including chip and channel electrophoretic separations wit h fluorescence detection are also discussed.
