ナノ構造体を用いたマイクロチップ電気泳動法

抄録

Recently, nanostructures have become one of the anticipated nanotechnologies for genomics and proteomics. Although microchip electrophoresis has become a powerful tool for analyzing biomolecules, more improvement of analytical method is highly required for medical diagnosis.
In this paper, we introduce a new method using a nanostructure as a sieving matrix during microchip electrophoresis. Nanostructure prepared from bacterial cellulose (Nata de Coco) is proposed. This method has dramatically improved the separation efficiency of biomolecules and it is highly expected for the medical diagnosis and biological analysis in future.
