Abstract:A novel concept for
highly versatile automated analyses of dried
blood spot (DBS) samples by commercial capillary electrophoresis (CE)
is presented. Two interchangeable CE cartridges with different fused-silica
capillaries were used for the DBS elutions and the DBS eluate analyses,
respectively. The application of one CE cartridge with a wide-bore
capillary reduced DBS processing times to a minimum (1–2 min
per sample) while fitting the other CE cartridge with a narrow-bore
capillary served for highly efficien… Show more
