"Electrophoresis on polymeric rather than glass microstructures is a promising separation method for analytical chemistry. Assays on such devices need to be explored to allow assessment of their utility for the clinical laboratory," researchers from Taiwan report.

The researchers "compared capillary and plastic microchip electrophoresis for clinical post-PCR analysis of hepatitis C virus (HCV). For capillary electrophoresis (CE), [the researchers] used a separation medium composed of 10 g/L hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose in Tris-borate-EDTA buffer and 10 (mu)mol/L intercalating dye. For microchip electrophoresis, the HCV assay established on the fused silica tubing...
