Trends in analysis of explosives by microchip electrophoresis and conventional CE

The continuous upsurge in terrorist activity has generated tremendous demand for innovative tools capable of detecting nitrated organic, inorganic, and peroxide-based explosives. This article directly extends the previous exhaustive review (Electrophoresis 2006, 27, 244256) and overviews the research activity in the field of microchip and conventional capillary electrophoresis for analysis of a variety of explosive …

Contactless conductivity detection for microfluidics: Designs and applications

Different methods for construction of contactless conductivity detectors (CCD) for microchip electrophoresis device are described in this review. This includes three main schemes of CCD for microchips, such as (i) the detection electrodes are placed along the microchannel from outside of the microchip and they are insulated from the channel by the cover lid of …

Microfluidics in amino acid analysis

Microfluidic devices have been widely used to derivatize, separate, and detect amino acids employing many different strategies. Virtually zero-dead volume interconnections and fast mass transfer in small volume microchannels enable dramatic increases in on-chip derivatization reaction speed, while only minute amounts of sample and reagent are needed. Due to short channel path, fast subsecond separations …

Analysis of nerve agents using capillary electrophoresis and laboratory-on-a-chip technology

The nerve agents belong among the most toxic compounds produced by human kind. While they have been used very sporadically until now, typically in local conflicts or by local terrorists groups, the global increase in terrorist activity in the recent years has generated tremendous demand for innovative tools capable of detecting nerve agents. Fast, sensitive …
