CE and Microfluidics

Efficient separations for complex samples
Artistic rendering of a capillary, various molecules, and TiO2 particles

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the simplest and fastest separation methods available today. In our lab, we are interested in developing analytical methodologies based on CE as well as the implementation of sample-pretreatment steps to improve the overall analysis. Aiming to further miniaturize the analysis, we are also interested in the the translational applications of microfluidics, the development of fabrication methods as well as the implementation of electrochemical methods for the detection at this scale.
