| CE Advantages and Applications CE is very rapid, efficient, easily automated, computerized, and requires only a microvolume of sample. Again a cooling system is included in instrumentation to prevent problems associated with the heat generated as discussed previously. The resolving power of CE is another important advantage.Proteins can be separated with CE along with inorganic ions, amino acids, drugs, vitamins, carbohydrates, oligonucleotides, and DNA fragments. | View Page |
| Uses of CE in Molecular Diagnostics Molecular diagnostic techniques utilize CE extensively. Automation, microvolume sample, increased sensitivity, immediate detection, and the computerization provided by CE enhance the analysis of nucleic acids. A multiple fluorescence detection system available with CE is also valuable.CE analysis of short tandem repeat polymorphisms is used in forensics, parentage testing, bone marrow engraftment analysis and other identification assays. Other testing for diagnosis of genetic diseases, oncology studies and DNA sequencing frequently utilize CE. DNA sequencing uses CE for separation of nucleotides labeled with multiple colored fluorescence dyes; CE and these markers enable computerized determination of the nucleotide sequence of DNA segments. | View Page |
