title: Two dimensional mapping of cancer cell extracts by liquid chromatography-capillary electrophoresis with ultraviolet absorbance detection.
abstract: A two-dimensional liquid chromatography/capillary electrophoresis technique was developed for rapid and comprehensive mapping of cell extracts. The cell extracts were first separated by reversed-phase HPLC based on hydrophobicity. Fractions of the effluent from the HPLC system were collected into 96-well microtiter plates and dried under vacuum. The fractions were reconstituted with deionized water, separated by capillary array electrophoresis based on charge-to-size ratio, and detected by UV absorption at 214 nm. Prior to analysis by multiplexed capillary electrophoresis, the reconstituted fractions were concentrated on-column using large volume sample stacking with polarity switching. In this way, high-resolution analysis of even the minor components in the complicated mixture was possible.
