Part I. J. Planar Chromatogr. 13, 4-8 (2000). Demonstration of the influence of electric fields on a chromatographic system, in particular the adsorbents SiO2 and Al2O3 in electrochromatography, one of the newest chromatographic methods. One property characterizing chromatographic adsorption systems is the surface free energy. A thin layer wicking technique was used to determine the solid surface free energy components for Merck precoated silica and alumina plates.

J. Chromatogr. 698, 33-40 (1995). A review with 43 references on cellulose acetate membranes (CAMs) and gelled cellulose acetate membranes (GCAMs)-based protocols for conventional electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing (IEF) and isofachophoresis (ITP), with examples for each.

J. Chromatogr. 698, 107-122 (1995). A review with 132 references on the affino immunoelectrophoresis principles and methodology and its use in the study of the mechanisms regulating protein glycosylation of several serum proteins from humans and animals. Discussion of applications of the techniques in fields of biochemical and clinical interest, such as inflammation, cancer, pregnancy, and foetal development.

J. Chromatogr. A 705, 89-103 (1995). A review with 89 references on the title method and its applications. The technique separates fluorescently-labeled carbohydrates on polyacrylamide gels and uses a charge-coupled device camera to detect and quantify the products.

Sz. Nyiredy, A. Kakuk (eds.): Planar Chromatography 2000, Lillafüred, Hungary, 24-26 June 2000, Res. Inst. for Med. Plants, p. 47-56. High throughput analysis of biopolymers via a microchip (a re-useable multilane, ultra-thin-layer gel electrophoresis approach). This technology combines the advantages of conventional planar slab gel electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis. Visualization by "in migratio" complexation during the electrophoresis process with ultra sensitive fluorescent agents. Detection by fiber-optic bundle based integrated laser induced fluorescence scanning - avalanche photodiode imaging system.

J. Chromatogr. 698, 203-224 (1995). A review with 149 references on the use of two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) to study naturally occurring protein mutations and polymorphisms as well as the charcterization of induced protein mutations in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. with several examples. Discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of 2DE in the detection of protein mutations.

J. Chromatogr. B 667, 153-160 (1995). Two-dimensional polyacrylic gel electrophoresis of cellular membranous proteins with silver staining. Discussion of the differences between different tissues, which would aid in the diagnosis of thyroid malignancy, and for differential diagnosis of follicular neoplasm.

Anal. Biochem. 237, 24-29 (1996). Separation with different sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Clear resolution by addition of 8 M urea to the gel and use of a multiphasic buffer system employing bicine and sulfate as trailing and leading ions, respectively. Discussion of the migration of the peptides. Demonstration of the usefulness of the system for the analysis of the title compounds generated during cellular metabolism by immunolabeled peptides secreted by cell transfected with a myloid precursor protein CDOAS.
