Why the need to do cell analysis?
Cells are the fundamental unit of life, and studieson cell contribute to reveal the mystery of life.
Since variability exists between individual cells
even in the same kind of cells, increased
emphasis has been placed on the analysis of
individual cellsfor getting better understanding on
the organism functions.

What is Capillary lectrophoresis?
Capillary lectrophoresis !C"
is a techni#ue designed to
separate ionic species based
on their size to charge ratio
in the interior of a smallcapillary filled with electrolytes.

Why C in Cellular $nalysis?
%nly a few conventional systems around that enable directintrinsic studies of single cells
Capillary electrophoresis is an excellent techni#ue for
identifying and #uantifying the contents of single cells.
$ powerful separation techni#ue with high resolution andreproducibility
&as the capability to detect with high sensitivity even at low
sample concentrations.
'he #uantitativeness and accuracy, the ex#uisite sensitivityand reduced background noise, has made the many methods
using C highly versatile.

Several ways to sample cells(.
'he contents of individual cells can be sampled for C
in several ways depending on the type of cell studied
and problems to be solved.
) *elatively large cells can be homogeni+ed in a microvial
and the homogenate can then be prepurified and assayed.or large cells, subcellular sampling is also possible.
) With small cells, a whole cell can be in-ected into the
capillary. n whole cell mode, the analysis consists of /
ma-or steps0 !i" cell in-ection !ii" cell lysis, !iii" separation ofcellular contents and !iv" reconditioning of the capillary.
'he #uality of analysis re#uires optimi+ation of all four
steps.

Although traditional CE and chip-based CE (CE) are powerful
techniques for single-cell
analysis, a maor impediment to
wider implementation of single-
cell CE has been low throughput
for biologically rele!ant analytes"

for 8C analysis.
Samples are mixed with dry
air to reduce moisture and
hence reduce interference
with analyte analysis.
