Abstract

Clinical samples often contain a wealth of information in a very small sample volume. Additionally the analysis of these samples are time sensitive. Using both traditional and micro-chip based immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (ICE), as well as multiplex assays, our unit has been able to rapidly analyze small sample volumes for numerous analytes. ICE allows us to concentrate and separate several analytes from a single sample and detect substances down to the picogram range. These powerful techniques allow for faster analysis of critical samples and ultimately lend themselves to the point-of-care therapy and real-time monitoring.
