CE is a technique with tremendous potential to solve several separation problems in the life sciences. The main advantages are the higher separation efficacy in comparison to chromatographic methods and the smaller sample volume required. Due to its high resolving power, high speed of analysis and low cost operation, CE is extensively used in the comprehensive characterization of macromolecules used as biologics as well as in proteomic or metabolomic studies. The analysis of proteins involves not only the characterization and quantification, but also the study of interactions of proteins with other proteins, nucleic acids or small molecules.
Typical CE applications in Life Sciences include the analysis of:
- proteins
- peptides
- oligonucleotides
- DNA
- carbohydrates
- metabolites
