Abstract
Electrophoretic on-line sample preconcentration techniques in microfluidic channels improve the sensitivity prior to the separation. Among various techniques, the most important field-amplified sample stacking and sweeping on cross-channel microchips are demonstrated. As a novel microfluidic preconcentration approach, a large-volume sample stacking with electroosmotic flow pump (LVSEP) on straight-channel chips is also presented, which can omit a complicated voltage program for sample injection processes. In this chapter, we describe how to prepare and how to run these on-line sample preconcentration methods in microchip electrophoresis.
