Microfluidic Isoelectric Focusing (Microfluidic IEF)

Microfluidic Isoelectric Focusing (Microfluidic IEF) is a cutting edge technique that performs isoelectric focusing within microscale channels on a lab on a chip device. By integrating pH gradient formation and electrophoretic separation into a compact microfluidic platform, this method enables rapid, high-resolution protein separation using very small sample volumes. Microfluidic IEF offers advantages like faster analysis times, enhanced automation, and potential for portable, point-of-care applications, making it a promising tool in proteomics, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology research.
