Capillary electrophoresis provides very high efficiency separations of biological molecules. Laser-induced fluorescence produces very high sensitivity detection. The combination of the two techniques results in an analytical tool with unprecedented properties: separations with more than a million theoretical plates and detection limits of a few hundred analyte molecules. This paper considers th...
