A selection of 58 specimens with a monoclonal component identified by immunoelectrophoresis and/or immunofixation was analyzed with the immunosubtraction procedure on the Paragon 2000 capillary electrophoresis system. The capillary system detected 93% of the paraproteins and, using immunosubtraction, correctly identified 91% of the paraproteins. Paraproteins that were detected by immunofixation...

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with indirect UV detection is an interesting analytical method for the analysis of drugs and pharmaceuticals. Good and reproducible capillary quality is needed to develop robust methods and to facilitate method transfer in CE. It is widely accepted that preconditioning procedures are indispensable in capillary electrophoresis in order to achieve reproducibility of...

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) and microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE) using polymer solutions are two of the most powerful techniques for the analysis of DNA. Problems, such as the difficulty of filling polymer solution to small separation channels, recovering DNA, and narrow separation size ranges, have put a pressure on developing new techniques for DNA analysis. In this review, we dea...

Forensic DNA analysis has vastly evolved since the first forensic samples were evaluated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Methodologies advanced from gel electrophoresis techniques to capillary and now next generation sequencing (NGS). Capillary was still is standard method used in analysis. However, dependent upon information needed, there are several different that can be t...

Forensic Short Tandem Repeat (STR) genotyping is almost exclusively performed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) in specialized laboratories. As an alternative to CE, and enable miniaturized lab-on-a-chip STR profiling, we developed the QueSTR probes, a hybridization-based assay that relies on recognition cleavage of RNA:DNA duplex RNase H2 enzyme. For each allele be genotyped, matching DNA prob...

The article is written by an expert in the Reld and covers more or less all developments in CE including CGE of the preceding years.)
