“…Various detection methods are used for on-chip detection, principally fluorescence (Colyer et al, 1997a,b; Hadd et al, 1997), but other techniques such as chemiluminescence (Mangru and Harrison, 1998) and electrochemical detection (Wooley et al, 1998) are also effective. A range of analytical techniques have been adapted to a microformat including gas chromatography (Bruns, 1994), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (Rodriguez et al, 1999) isoelectric focussing (Wen et al, 2000), and isotachophoresis (Walker et al, 1998). Miniaturization of capillary electrophoresis is currently one of the most successful microchip applications (Colyer et al, 1997a,b; Dolnik et al, 2000; Hashimoto et al, 2000; Hofgartner et al, 1999; Huang et al, 1999; Liu et al, 1999; Munro et al, 1999; Rodriguez et al, 1997a,b; Rossier et al, 1999; Schultz-Lockyear et al, 1999; Ueda et al, 2000) and an analyzer is now available commercially (www.agilent.com).…”
