ABSTRACT

I. INTRODUCTION Electrophoresis has been used for a long time as one of the most important separation principles in analytical biochemistry. In particular, it has been applied to the separation of DNA and DNA components. Electrophoretical techniques have predominated in this field for decades and will continue to do so in the future. The advent of capillary electrophoresis (CE) has boosted the development of electrophoretic techniques, because it opened access to higher sensitivity, better resolution, and greater speed of separation (1-3).
