Development in capillary electrophoresis

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is highly suitable for analysis of various molecules (small inorganic ions, organic compounds such drugs, pollutants, amino acids, peptides, proteins, natural or synthetic polymers… ) in biological, environmental, food, industrial or forensic matrices…

Specific strengths : Expertise in all electrokinetic capillary methodologies and their application fields.

Recent developments:

New strategy for direct UV detection of non-derivatized carbohydrates and amino acids after their CE separation

Collaborations : Laboratoire Central de la Préfecture de Police de Paris, University of Western Sydney (Australie)
