A CE system based on fluorescence detection utilizes capillary electrophoresis immunoassay analysis, and provides many benefits over conventional immunoassay techniques. Another article discusses the benefits of electrochemical-scanning probe microscopy (EC-SPM) for the study of energy materials at the nanometer scale.
