Abstract:
Chemical and physicochemical reactions can be carried out in a capillary tube on capillary electrophoresis. And utilizing in-capillary reactions
on capillary electrophoresis allows quick determination of reaction rate constants and association constants between biological components
with small samples. This paper summarizes “in-capillary derivatization” and “affinity capillary electrophoresis” as capillary electrophoretic analyses using chemical and physicochemical reactions.
