CE-MS (Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry)

CE-MS (Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry) is an analytical technique that separates and identifies tiny molecules in a sample. First, capillary electrophoresis uses an electric field within a narrow tube to sort molecules based on their size and charge. Then, the separated molecules are fed into a mass spectrometer, which measures their mass and structure. This combination allows for highly precise analysis of complex mixtures, such as biological fluids, providing detailed information about their molecular makeup for research or diagnostics.
