Abstract:
A brief review of the author's studies concerning the fundamental characteristics of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) and its application along with fundamental and application studies on capillary electrophoresis (CE) as well as fundamental studies on microchip electrophoresis, from the viewpoint of the high performance separation technique, is described. Only limited topics from the authors' investigations, such as chiral separations by MEKC and affinity capillary electrochromatography and highly sensitive detection schemes including on-line sample concentration techniques and the use of thermal lens microscopy in CE and MEKC, are presented.
Keywords:
