No minimum orderDescription
Capillary Gel Electrophoresis and Related Microseparation Techniques covers all theoretical and practical aspects of capillary gel electrophoresis. It also provides an excellent overview of the key application areas of nucleic acid, protein and complex carbohydrate analysis, affinity-based methodologies, micropreparative aspects and related microseparation methods. It not only gives readers a better understanding of how to utilize this technology, but also provides insights into how to determine which method will provide the best technical solutions to particular problems. This book can also serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in analytical chemistry, analytical biochemistry, molecular biology and biotechnology courses.

László Hajba
László Hajba holds a PhD in analytical and environmental chemistry from University of Pannonia, awarded in 2008, his research topic was the vibrational spectroscopic, theoretical and structural study of organometallic molecules. Later he carried out research in the field of biospectroscopy and chemometrics at the same university. He performed infrared spectroscopic investigation of human hair and skin, identification of cancer specific spectroscopic markers with chemometric methods. In 2010 he joined the biotechnology research group at Research Institute of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Pannonia. In 2013 he started his work in the field of microfluidics and bioseparations at the Translational Glycomics Research Group. He and his coworkers developed a fully automated linear polyacrylamide capillary coating method for high efficiency capillary electrophoretic separation of cell surface proteins and the glycosimilarity index for the similarity measure of the glycan structures of therapeutic proteins. He received the Outstanding Scientist Award from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2019. He has 47 peer reviewed scientific publication with more than 650 independent citations.
