Overview of the Surface Modification Techniques for the Capillary Electrophoresis of Proteins

In recent years, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been successfully utilized in biochemical applications for the separation of proteins. The slab gel technique is traditionally used for the analysis of biological substances, but the procedure is time-consuming and gives only semiquantitative results. The utility of CE as an alternative approach is well known, as it combines the advantages of fast and quantitative analysis, high resolution, minimum sample consumption, and automated instrumentation.
