keeping constant all agronomic factors except temperature is a way to follow heat shock proteins (hsps) expression. three different sunflower hybrids derived from the cross between an inbred line, cms ha 89, and three different restorer inbred lines, with resistance, susceptible, and normal reactions to drought, were produced. in order to investigate the impact of temperature on protein accumul...

Miniaturized, portable instrumentation has been gaining popularity in all areas of analytical chemistry. Capillary electrophoresis (CE), due to its main strengths of high separation efficiency, relatively short analysis time and low consumption of chemicals, is a particularly suitable technique for use in portable analytical instrumentation. In line with the general trend in miniaturization in ...

In this paper a novel capillary electrophoresis chip (CEC) is presented with integrated platinum electrodes and simplified conductivity detector. CEC is fabricated by the method of mechanical modification with probe on organic glass. Capillary electrophoresis chip can rapidly completed ion separation by simulation of concentration distribution and zonebroadening. Detection circuit is simple whi...

Conditions for converting a set of five standard proteins to electrochemically active sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) complexes were worked out with the aim of using such complexes for conductivity detection with a a chip electrophoresis system. The results obtained were compared with standard capillary electrophoresis (37 cm (effective length 30 cm) x 75 microm I.D. capillary, 10 kV, negative pola...

We report an improved interface for two-dimensional capillary electrophoresis. This interface is based on capillary tubing and a Plexiglas chip, both of which were milled using a micro-dicing saw. The interface was evaluated and compared to a traditional interface design for both pseudo one-dimensional and two-dimensional capillary electrophoresis. We observe less than 70% transfer efficiency f...

Avidin transgenic plants are a potential tool for providing resistance against various species of insect pests due to the sequestration of vitamin H (biotin) in the plant from the insect pests. In this project we compared three techniques for avidin determination in transgenic tobacco plants, a novel chip-based capillary electrophoretic method (Experion), classical polyacrylamide gel electropho...

Joule heating generated by the electrical current in capillary electrophoresis leads to a temperature gradient along the separation channel and consequently affects the separation quality. We describe a method of reducing the Joule heating effect by incorporating photonic crystal fiber into a micro capillary electrophoresis chip. The photonic crystal fiber consists of a bundle of extremely narr...
