Clinical potential of microchip capillary electrophoresis systems

Clinical interest in the use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) has recently been extended to the microchip environment. Clinical analyses demand careful handling of complex samples that are often limited in quantity and in concentration. The integrated sample handling and analysis capabilities of microchip substrates thus seem ideally suited to clinical applications. This review surveys the development of sample handling (injection, mixing, and reaction) and separation elements on‐chip. The integration of these elements to create a variety of clinical analyzers has been demonstrated. The application of microchip CE systems to human serum protein analysis, immunoassay, and DNA studies is reviewed, along with various other clinical applications. In addition, the clinical potential of the lab‐on‐a‐chip concept is discussed.
