"These volumes comprehensively and accurately present CE technology and techniques with an emphasis on providing an understanding of the theory and instrumentation (Vol. 1), as well as detailed examples of successful analytical protocols (both volumes)...Chapters on the use of microchip and mass spectrometric detection are also included...Although numerous experimental protocols can be found in Vol. 1, it is clear that the intent is to communicate the underlying theory and capability of CE for separations. Vol. 1 should be of interest to the novice as well as the expert. In Vol. 2, each of the 31 chapters present specific examples of the use of CE...Nonetheless, these two volumes of the Methods in Molecular Biology series offer a representative and needed overview of the current theory and practice of CE of nucleic acids. These texts should prove very useful to both active investigators in this area and those seeking to learn more about the use and and capability of CE." - Clinical Chemistry Review for both volumes: "This two-volume set of books comprises 64 chapters of protocols for the analysis of just about every form and size of nucleic acids that one can imagine. Thus it rates near an "A" for its comprehensiveness." -Analytical Chemistry "...rates near an "A" for its comprehensiveness." - Analytical Chemistry
