Capillary and Microchip Electrophoresis for Bioanalysis

Dear Colleagues,

The use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the analysis of complex biological samples has significantly increased over the past several years. Moreover, a miniaturized version of CE, microchip electrophoresis (MCE), has also found a broad applicability in bioanalysis because of high-speed and high-throughput analysis with high separation efficiency; reduced consumption of solvents; and production of waste, easy automation, and low running costs.

This Special Issue is intended to present the state of the art in CE/MCE techniques performed from preparative to analytical scale and used for analysis of biological samples.

Suggested topics include improvements in bioanalysis in terms of CE/MCE instrumentation, methodological developments, and electrophoretic sample preparation techniques. CE/MCE applications focused on analytes of biological origin, e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, peptides, metabolites, pharmaceuticals, or single cells, are also welcome in this Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
