Abstract:
For the requirement of a high, fast and sufficient technology to suit the needs of 21st century biotechnology, the separation range of a microchip electrophoresis system was studied. Two DNA fragments on the human Y-chromosome, SY594 (82 bp) and 12f2 (88 bp), were successfully separated with a reproducibility of 1.9% and an accuracy of 2.8%. Then, a mixture of 10 DNA markers ranging from 61 bp to 189 bp was successfully separated with high resolution. All of these results demonstrate the superiority of microchip electrophoresis as a tool for 21st century bioseparation.
