NCIt definition : An electrophoresis procedure, in which a sample is introduced into a capillary tube
and the components are separated by the application of high voltage. Due to the large
surface to volume ratio, cooling is more efficient, allowing use of higher voltages.
As a result, separation occurs more quickly and sensitivity is increased. The technique
allows for separation of proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An electrophoresis procedure, in which a sample is introduced into a capillary
tube and the components are separated by the application of high voltage. (NCI);
