Abstract:
As a novel nanomaterial, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively applied in many fields such as material, catalysis, adsorption and separation, etc. The applications of CNTs in separation science, such as in solid phase extraction (SPE), solid phase microextraction (SPME) and membrane extraction, and as stationary phase for chromatographic separation and capillary electrophoresis (CE) are reviewed in the paper.

01:30Capillary Electrophoresis: Applications
Capillary electrophoretic separations offer various modes, each with unique applications. These modes include capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary array electrophoresis, capillary isoelectric focusing, capillary isotachophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, and capillary electrochromatography.
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separates ionic components based on their electrophoretic mobility. It has been used to separate proteins, amino acids,...

01:20Overview Of Cell Separation And Isolation
Cell separation was first achieved in 1964 by S. H. Seal, who separated large tumor cells from the smaller blood cells using filtration. Two years later, Pohl and Hawk performed experiments on how cells respond differently to a nonuniform electric field based on the cell type. Such observations were the inception of cell separation methods, which allow isolating a single cell type from a heterogeneous sample.
