One of the major challenges in capillary electrophoresis and other miniaturization separation techniques is to maintain high detection sensitivity in the increasingly smaller dimension. Numerous on-column sample preconcentrating procedures, based either on electrokinetic focusing or chromatographic effects, have been developed. This review will discuss some practical approaches to sample stacking from a personal perspective. Several recent developments in sample stacking on microfluidic devices are reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
