Capillary Electrophoresis Systems Market Overview and Introduction             

Capillary electrophoresis is a form of electro-kinetic separation in which biological & chemical substances are subjected to separation in micro- and nanofluidic channels and diameter capillaries. The substances which are analyzed, are referred to as analytes, which under the influence of an electric field, migrate through an electrolytic solution. Analytes are separated on the basis of ionic mobility, which in turn depends on the size & charge of the molecule.

The global capillary electrophoresis is driven by several advantages which this technique offers such as requirement of minimal amount of sample, high accuracy & efficiency and greater reproducibility as compared to other molecular analysis techniques. Moreover, advent of novel technologies have made the entire process automated, which has further propelled the application of these processes. These automated techniques provide high quality temperature and pressure controlling system, and several other features, which improves the overall reproducibility of tests results, thereby making the entire process more accurate. Furthermore, rising demand for novel therapeutics in the field of drug discovery field has led to significant rise in demand for DNA and protein separation techniques. This in turn has propelled the demand for capillary electrophoresis for such separation techniques. However, availability of alternative separation techniques and high costs of equipment are few factors which may restrain the growth of the market to a certain extent.
